Being a low
budget
film, there are
limited
institutions that
would want to
distribute our
product.
Harry Helyar
Major film studios
such as Warner Bros
and Sony Pictures
would be out of
bounds, this is
because they
distribute huge
blockbuster
films, something our
film is not.
Harry Helyar
Because of this it is likely we
are best to go for a
smaller, yet still competitive
company such as Lionsgate.
We have included a Lionsgate
opening animation in our
piece, this goes to show that
this has been a long standing
hope of ours that this would
be the institution that would
distribute our film.
Harry Helyar
Alongside Lionsgate the
institution Film4 would be
another one we would like to
distribute our product. Film4
are notorious for helping
British-made films being
distributed, our film would
fit in with this.
Harry Helyar
Nowadays websites like
You Tube can be used to
help distribute film
openings. With a global
audience, it means a
large amount of people
could be watching our
opening, if it was good
enough and with a bit of
luck, it may mean that
You Tube could be the
key to an-up-and coming
film to be distributed.
Harry Helyar
It would be wise to use social
networking sites such as
Facebook and Twitter to help
raise awareness of our film.
With such a huge amount of
people on Facebook and
Twitter, it presents a good
chance to raise a fan base
and get perhaps attract film
studios.
Harry Helyar
Overall I feel that if we were to get
an institution to distribute this
product, it is likely the institution
would either be Film4 or
Lionsgate, as these meet our
criteria and we meet theirs.
