A Production company is the company who makes the physical production of a film. The production company that you have chosen would be the ones responsible for raising the money to create the film. funding or may have a link with a larger company whom funds the film. Our film, Dead mans alley has been made by myself and my group; 2012 Productions - our own production company. If we were to distribute our film, we would need to create a link with a distribution company who are for releasing films to the public.
our media product,dead mans alley is a Independent British Film, it would be distributed by a small distribution company like Big talk productions, who have distributed British films such as 'attack the block' and 'Paul', this would be the perfect distributor for our film due to having contacts in the film industry based in London, United Kingdom and accept film submissions over the internet, also Comedy and horror provide the beating heart of Big Talk’s slate, this is good because our film is a horror film.
Other ways that we could distribute our film is buy film festivals, an example of a film festival that could be used is Zero film festival .Zero Film Festival is the first and only festival exclusive to self-financed film-makers, this would be good due to the fact that our film has no budget and not known actors. A large distribution company would be Paramount, however paramount is a large budget production and distribution company with a lot of links with large cinema groups, distributing on DVD and TV on demand. Smaller distributors cannot afford the same things that the bigger distributors have to offer hence the reason they do not have links and are unable to return the huge cash return upon a distribution of a film, this is why they have smaller budgets. Paramount distribute films such as 'along came a spider' and 'van helsing', they would be unsuitable to distribute my film due to the fact as stated before that there is no budget and also not known actors/actresses.
New ways of distributing films maybe through e-mails, itunes and the apple store and also Lovefilm.com
