Their first two films, the Robert De Niro psychological thriller Stone and the Keanu Reeves black comedy Henry’s Crime, debuted to favorable reviews at the Toronto Film Festival. The company’s third film, Warrior, earned veteran actor Nick Nolte an Academy Award nomination for his portrayal of an alcoholic former fighting champion.
