What kind of media institution would distribute your media product and why?

The Orphan and the Knowing are films which to some extent is similar to ours. Orphan’s main production company is Warner Bros. Pictures which is a big company and it also distributed the film. Knowing is produced by Summit Entertainment and distributed by Summit Entertainment. These production and distribution companies are big and being realistic, they wouldn’t produce or distribute our media product. However, we did some research about what kind of low budget independent British film companies would produce or distribute our product. Hammer Film Production is a British film company. This company produced a lot of films that have a genre of thriller, science fiction etc. As our media product fits into a psychological thriller genre, we thought it could be possible that they could produce our media product. Another option could be Film4 Productions which is a production company owned by channel 4. They produced a lot of films made in the UK and all of them were reasonably low budget films e.g. East are East. Shaun of the dead is a British film of low budget and was produced by Working Title 2. Other films successfully produced by Working Title 2 are Billy Elliot and The Calcium Kid. Working Title is a production company which might be interested in our media product because it is a bigger production company than Working Title 2.
