Sandra Bullock | Production Company

Sandra Bullock is known to be the head of Fortis Films in Austin, Texas, and is part of the Film & Video Industry.  Bullock named the production company Fortis Films, which means strength in Greek. She is someone who wants creative control to do whatever she wants. With that, the actress thinks it’s better if she has a say in the movies she stars in, so building her own company felt like the right decision. Considering how much wealth she has amassed throughout her career, there’s no doubt that Bullock didn’t have to apply for any type of loan just to start her production company.

Now with several films under the company’s belt, which are mostly carried by Sandra Bullock herself—including Practical Magic, Gun Shy, and the popular spy-pageant film called Miss Congeniality— has made the company into its own brand. It mostly features rom-coms but also has a handful of other genres. If you’re wondering where the German star got the idea for Fortis, Bullock actually got inspired by her fellow peers like Drew Barrymore, Jodie Foster, and Meg Ryan, who also had their own company.
