The Weinstein Company is an independently owned film studio by Harvey and Bob Weinstein in 2005 after the pair left the Disney-owned Miramax which they had co-founded in 1979. Miramax was originally created in order to distribute independent films, which they deemed commercially unfeasible by the major studios. The brother produced such films as Pulp Fiction, The Crying Game, Shakespeare in Love, and Fahrenheit 9/11.
