Transbaum Films is an old Lovian film production company. It is the first film company in Lovia.
History[]
German-American businessman Henry Transbaum lost his film business as a result of the Great Depression in the United States. Seeing that Lovia was doing better, he decided to go there and find some luck. In 1929, he moved to Lovia, and quickly found interest for film making. That year, he managed to get famous socialite Isabel Ramsley to have the starring role in his upcoming film, Jack and Gilles. The film was successful, and Transbaum began a new film in 1933. By the 1940s, Transbaum films were starring high profile actors like Florentine Fortesque. By the 1950s, Transbaum was running out of money, due to his movie Le Prince failing, so he managed to get investments from the Ramsley Family. He was able to make new films and keep the company going.
After the Black Ops series (1983-1991), a serie of four action movies, the company did not reveal any new films but in 2010, the film Chain Reaction was released and in 2011, three films were produced and released.
