Bright Pictures is a feature film company jointly managed by ACE Producer Sarah Sulick and Oscar-nominated writer/director Roger Goldby. The company was established in 2006 when Sarah and Roger teamed up to make The Waiting Room, a contemporary romance starring Anne-Marie Duff, Ralf Little and Rupert Graves.
