From a previous Vincent post:
: When a film is produced, a corporation is created specifically to produce that film
(regardless of the actual company financing the film)- this is done to sheild the
parent company from any liabilty if the film was the target of any lawsuits or
whatever (basically, since Too Askew was created *JUST* for the purpose of
producing CHASING AMY, if somebody tried to sue the film, they would be suing
Too Askew, and not View Askew or Miramax- well, Too Askew would *ONLY* have
as it's assets the budget used to produce the feature and would essentially be
disbanded when the film completes production, so the makers/financers of the film
are protected). It's not just CHASING AMY- DOGMA was 'produced' by Plenary
Indulgence, MALLRATS was 'produced' by Unstable Molecules, DRAWING FLIES
was 'produced' by Good Load, A BETTER PLACE was 'produced' by Providence
Films, VULGAR was 'produced' by Shongo Filmworks, and BIG HELIUM DOG was
'produced' by Ray Is Dead Co.
