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

Two films we looked closely at when planning our opening sequence was shutter island and The butterfly effect, as both are psychological thrillers and both incorporate flashbacks. These films were moth major blockbuster hits, shutter island was produced and distributed jointly by the major Hollywood conglomerates Columbia Pictures and Paramount Pictures, as they are very big companies. However, realistically they wouldn’t distribute our film. We looked into british distribution companies and found two main companies we thought may distribute our film; The first was a company called Hammer film, which has distributed many low-budget horrors and thrillers, ours would fit to their preffered genre and therefore they may be interested. The second is a more well-known british company – Working title. These have produced many well-known films such as Shaun of the dead. Another option would be working title’s subsidary company, working title 2. This may be more appropriate as they deal with lower-budget films, such as ours.
