So, one of my favourite film companies is Troma. If you haven't heard of them, then what the hell is wrong with you? If you have, you know their majesty.
Not only do they remain the only independent film company in the US, they also put out a slew of in-house films. And, on top of that, they give new creators a chance more than anyone, go to Cannes every year, have their own film fest in Tromadance and in general are bloody good people. Despite, of course, that most of their films feature gore, nudity, mutation, bad acting, bad camerawork and generally a brilliant but awful view to making a film.
But they have had successes. For one, James Gunn, a writer/sometime director on Troma films went on to script the live-action Scooby Doo, write and direct is own superhero film The Specials, and most recently gross horror Slither. He's currently in production to direct Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy - so you see how that works.
So, do we have any Tromites here? If not, any B-movie lovers to create a better thread?
