Indian Paintbrush

A lot of people worked to produce Grand Budapest, and not least among them was Steve Rales, owner of the production company, Indian Paintbrush. Bonus: When the second line of your Wikipedia page talks about how rich you are, you know you're doing pretty well (apparently he's the 155th richest person in the States).

When Rales isn't managing his enormous, industry-spanning company, Danaher, he appears to enjoy his movies, specifically his Wes Anderson movies. Indian Paintbrush has been a part of Moonrise Kingdom, Fantastic Mr. Fox, and The Darjeeling Limited.

Also on the job was TSG Entertainment, a financing company that normally throws money at the big, action packed super hero/Y.A. adapted type movies, and apparently Wes Anderson actually made a movie with enough actual things happening to catch their eye. They also helped fund Birdman, making 2014 quite the Oscars year for them. (If only there was a Best Financer category.)

Finally, we've got Babelsberg Studio, the oldest large-scale film studio still doing business. Based in Germany, Babelsberg specializes in big budget feature films with international components (and the letter "B"). You may have heard of The Hunger Games, which was shot at Babelsberg, as were V for Vendetta, Cloud Atlas, and Inglorious Basterds, just to name some of their recent hits.
