What kind of media institution would distribute your media product and why?
Gaslight is a film that to some extent is similar to ours. Gaslights main distribution company is Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, which is a big distribution company. This distribution company is big and being realistic, they wouldn’t distribute our media product because they closed down years ago. We did some research about what kind of low budget independent film companies would distribute our product. One company we found that distributed both mainstream and independent 
films was Icon Film Distribution. This company has a wide range of film genres and quite a few horrors and thriller. As our media product is a dramatic thriller we thought it could be possible that they could distribute our media produc
t. Another option could be metrodome group, which is an independent horror distributer. They distribute a lot of films made in the UK and all of them are low budget. We then looked at optimum releasing, which would be the most likely to distribute our film since they specialize in horrors and thrillers for example. The last exorcism and splice, neither of these films were particularly popular but were still distributed which is why we think they would be the most likely to help as Optium Releasing is a digital distribution company meaning our media product could be shown in lots of different cinemas at the same time costing less than it would if we made individual prints of the film. Also we had the idea of putting our film in film festivals as they are good advertising and festivals such as the Sundance Film Festival are mainly for independent films, and has helped films such as Hurt Locker and Winters Bone which are both independent films.
