Question 3
What kind of media institution might distribute my film and why.
It would be hard to get a large media institution to distribute our film because it is low budget and targeted at a small audience. An institution such as Fox Searchlight Pictures would not be interested because they look for films that will please a large audience and which they can produce and distribute to large cinemas. Our film would not thrive in such a situation because it would not fill a large cinema's seats. A student film is usually disregarded as it is low budget and lacks the experience of major film makers. Two films who we drew inspiration from are the Black Swan and Girl, Interrupted. Girl Interrupted is distributed by Columbia Pictures which is also a large film distributor looking for high grossing films starring Hollywood actors. Obviously we do not have a Hollywood cast and this means that they will not be very interested, again we must look for smaller individual distributors for an audience who are not looking for a mainstream film. An example of a low budget media institution that might be interested in distributing our film might be momentum pictures, they have distributed many films in the past few years such as Let The Right One In, The Girl Who Played With Fire and Dark Skies. These are not high budget films starring a multitude of Hollywood actors and this is why we might be interested in them distributing our film, this is still quite a large distributor for our film and we might aim for a smaller one because they would be more likely to accept our film.
