A Possible Distributor for our Film
A film distributor is a company responsible for the marketing of a film; this is very different from a production company, which our group will take the role of (creating the film). Distribution is key to a film as with out marketing nobody will know, for example, when the film will be released. Taking charge of releasing the film in to cinemas and on to DVD's, distributors are incredibly important in the whole process from creating the film to people viewing the film.
Fox:
For a possible distributor for our film I have gone with 20th Century Fox, a subsidiary of 21st Century Fox. The film company not only produces fims but they distribute them too; examples of them distrubuting crime drama films are: Percy Jackson, Fight Club, Die Hard, Die Hard 2 and Taken.
There are many reasons for choosing 20th Century Fox:
1). They have a good reputation with high standards.
2). Being a large American company they have a large budget, meaning they will be able to have a large marketing campaign to publicise our film and get it well known
3). Fox have many subsidiaries, but a main one which I have looked in to, that would be beneficial for our film is 'Fox Searchlight pictures.'
- Searchlight is an American film distrubutor from Fox. Unlike 20th Century Fox it does not produce films, it simply distributes them. The positive of Searchlight is that it distributes UK independent films; where they tend to distribute horror and 'dramedy' which is our genre. They have distributed well known films, from a relatively small budget, some of these films are: 'The Full Monty', 'Never Die Alone', 'Shame' and multi-award winning '12 Years of Slave.'
