3. Our company – Bloodheart Productions
We created this distribution company for the purpose of distributing
thriller and horror films.
We expect to frequently reach a high certificate audience, i.e. 15 and
18. We may distribute films in 12/12A to widen our audiences as an
occasional exception.
Our films will preferably be distributed in multiplex cinemas because we
wish to reach out to a more commercial audience. We may consider
showing the films independently if our budget is low.
We believe that there are many outlets for our film to be shown such as
being shown in cinemas, premiering in film festivals, going straight to
DVD, being shown on planes or being released digitally for purchase.
