FILMMAKING,PRODUCTION,DIRECTOR's VISION

Chris Columbus and his daughter Eleanor's production company, Maiden Voyage, emphasizes supporting directors' creative visions. This philosophy stems from Columbus's experience working on a film franchise where an executive producer rejected his request for CGI enhancements.
