3. What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?


3. What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?


The most obvious company that might get involved in the distributed is Icon Film Productions that are responsible for much of the distribution for the new Hammer Studio that have begun creating new low budget horror films from Beyond the Rave and Let Me In (the remake of Let the Right One In). Looking at their roster they tend to distribute low budget, independent cinema, even quite a few documentaries such as Project Nim and Man On Wire. They seem to be prepared to take a risk on lower budget films and distribute to independent cinemas.
Another potential company would be Optimum Film Distribution that have distributed many low budget British films such as F (which was filmed in CRC), This Is England and Dog Pound. These are similar in setting to my film in terms of location and setting.


Another way of getting distribution would be to get my film shown a various film festivals, specifically the UK's Fright Fest which has specialised in showing low budget horror. If it was to get to a good reaction there, that might lead to a buzz on the net and in horror communities which would lead to bigger interest.
