The article has been tagged as being uncited for 5 months. I have been unable to locate reliable sources to establish notability for this company. All I have been able to turn up are press release announcements and derivative articles of the same. ConcernedVancouverite (talk) 22:02, 26 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

~~Delete~~. The company definitely existed, but I can only find passing references, e.g. "a producer with Colossal Pictures, a San Francisco film production company." If the company was notable it would have been the subject of substantial coverage in reliable sources, which I've been unable to locate. Pburka (talk) 22:50, 26 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep in light of the sources uncovered by Arxiloxos. Pburka (talk) 16:20, 27 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
