Unfortunately, we are an independent film production therefore this limits our budget. We are not able to produce a high tech blockbuster due to the lack of equipment therefore if we wanted to make our opening sequence into a feature film, we would somehow need to receive funds to help us with the budget. Therefore instead of having a mainstream Hollywood institution distributing our film is out of our budget, it may be better to have a lower scale company such as an independent film company with Hollywood ownership to distribute our film. For example Columbia Pictures Industries which is an American film production and distribution company. Columbia Pictures now forms part of the Columbia TriStar Motion Picture Group, owned by Sony Pictures Entertainment, a subsidiary of the Japanese conglomerate Sony. It is one of the leading film companies in the world, a member of the so-called Big Six. Columbia Pictures have also been known to recently produce films such as ‘Anonymous’ and ‘The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo’.
Another option is to have a small British independent film company to distribute our film, such as Coffee Film. This company produces independent thriller films and helps distribute films over the internet and also promote the film at film festivals. Coffee Film also has their own channel on ‘Youtube’ which enables the film to have numerous views and help distribute the film across to the audience. The reason why this company would be suitable to distribute our media product is because they specialise in distributing thriller films. Our film ‘Bedevilment’ is also a combination of both thriller and horror. Currently the company Coffee Film s promoting the film ‘Lucid’ and ‘The Death and Resurrection Show’.
Fear Film is another company that is eligible to distribute our film as they focus on distributing independent horror/thriller films. They work with several distribution companies around the world. This is an advantage as it means that our film can be distributed worldwide and become recognised globally as the company has connections across the world. Fear Film generally enters films into a film festival, where professionals decide whether or not the film is marketable and whether they would like to invest in the film.
