Four walls (filmmaking)
 | The topic of this article may not meet Wikipedia's general notability guideline. (July 2015) |
The four walls (also known as the four wall system) is a film production system whereby a film production company rents a sound stage and associated space but then separately contracts for additional facilities and hires freelance staff. The four walls system became prominent in the 1960s,[1] following the demise of the Hollywood studio system from 1948.[2] Some big studios, like Pinewood Studios in England, became four walls facilities[3] for independent film producers and television companies. These facilities no longer engage in the development or distribution of films.
