What kind of
media institution might distribute your media product and why?
As independent films often do, my film only attracts a niche audience making it even harder to find a distribution company to distribute my film. However, after completed several different case studies on films as well as the distribution companies themselves, I have narrowed it down to two. Firstly, Vertigo Films.
Vertigo Films have released independent films within the social realist genre, particularly 'London to Brighton' which as explained in earlier questions deals with similar topical issues and uses the same stereotypical characters. However, Vertigo have also released mainstream films such as 'StreetDance' which was also released in 3D. Primarily, this company having mainstream success makes it less likely for them to distribute my product.
Ultimately, I believe that I stand a better chance of my film being distributed by Warp Films as their films are solely aimed at am arthouse audience. Many of the films they have distributed such as 'This is England' and 'Dead Man's Shoes' fit within the social realist genre filmed and edited the same way that my film would had it been made into a full feature film.
