2. Our production company is called
DIG Productions. It is most likely to
produce films in the genre of
romance and teen movies. They are
most likely to be ‘indie’ films for a
target audience of 15-25 aged
females.
3. ‘Absence’ is a dramatic
romance and therefore
would need a distribution
company that promotes this
genre.. This is important as
they would know how to
market the product.
4. Focus Features is a perfect
example of a distribution
company that would
distribute ‘Absence’. Focus
Features is the art house
films division of NBC
Universal, it is not only a
producer but a distributor.
5. Focus Features has produced
many dramatic romances such
as: ‘One Day’, ‘Brokeback
Mountain’, ‘Lost in Translation’
and ‘Pride and Prejudice’. Focus
Features has a total
$1,269,056,759 box office income.
6. Another distributor of our
genre would be Eone
Momentum Pictures. They are
the Uk’s leading independent
motion picture distributor.
They have distributed films
such as ‘Dear John’ and ‘The
rebound’. This again parallels
our chosen genre.
7. Our movie firstly
would have to be shown
at a film festival such
as The BFI London Film
Festival. This showcases
London made films in
the hope that they will
be scouted by film
distributors and shown
globally.
8. Hopefully this would
be scouted by Studio
Canal (formally
known as Optimum
Releasing) a London
based distribution
company that
showcases
extraordinary London
pieces. They have
regularly distributed
films of our genre.
9. Studio Canal have a
contract with Love Film.
Love Film can be viewed
online by thousands of
monthly conscriptions. This
would be extremely
beneficial for our film as
a exhibition platform. This
could also broaden our
target audience of 15-25
aged females, as Love Film
has a universal audience.
10. Studio Canal have
produced films such
as ‘Broken Circle
Breakdown’ and
‘Cracks’ which follow
the conventions of
dramatic romance.
Therefore this would
be the most
prominent example
of a distributor for
‘Absence’.
