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. Columbus learned from this experience and vowed to always back the director's choices, a principle that has proven successful in collaborating with Rob Eggers.
