How to name your production company

  1. 1Test it as an opening creditYour name will appear on a black screen before the film starts. Say it with "presents" after it and see whether it feels confident and cinematic.
  2. 2Pictures, Films, Studio, or MediaPictures and Films suggest narrative and feature work, Studio suggests a physical space or animation, and Media covers commercials and digital content. Choose the word that matches your main work.
  3. 3Avoid well-known studio namesThe film industry is full of distinctive company names that are actively protected. Search IMDbPro, festival listings, and the USPTO before you register yours.
  4. 4Make the logo animatableProduction companies often animate their logo for credits and reels. A name with a clear image, like a lantern, kite, or reel, gives your designer something to work with.
  5. 5Think about commercial clientsIf brands are your main clients, a name that sounds reliable and creative beats something dark or obscure. Agencies want partners they can present confidently to their clients.

Naming a production company: FAQ

Should my production company name include Films or Pictures?

It is a helpful signal to clients and festivals. Films and Pictures fit narrative work, while Media, Creative, or Studio fit commercials, content, and post-production.

Do I need an LLC for my production company?

Many filmmakers form an LLC to separate project liability and finances, and you can create single-purpose LLCs for individual films. Ask an attorney or accountant what fits your projects.

Can I use my own name for a production company?

Yes, many directors do. A separate brand name is easier if you plan to hire other directors or sell the company later.

How do I check if a production company name is taken?

Search IMDbPro, your state business registry, and the USPTO database for film and video production. Check the domain and Vimeo and YouTube handles as well.
