New Market Films would be well-suited to distribute the film because they have successfully distributed similar psychological thriller films like Memento with low budgets. New Market Films focuses on acquiring and distributing diverse films from new directors and lesser known actors. They have a track record of films like Memento with budgets under $10 million grossing over $25 million, indicating they could successfully market a low budget psychological thriller.

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

2. I would expect a distribution company such as New Line Cinema or New Market Films to distribute my
film because of the films which they have taken a part in distributing in the past, New Line Cinema
helped distribute ‘Se7en’ and New Market Films distributed Memento which are films from the same
genre as mine – Psychological Thriller. I have said New Market Films because a lot of the films which
they’ve distributed have had lots of success with Psychological thrillers in the past Se7en being an
example of that. However I feel that New Market Films would be a more likely suitor for the distribution
of my film because a lot of the films they have distributed in the past have had quite low budgets (under
$10,000,000) and have had a lot of success which would be a good reason to pick them, an example
being the psychological thriller ‘Memento’ which had a budget of $9,000,000 and got a total gross profit
of $25,000,000. New Market Films is a subsidiary of the parent company Exclusive Media Group. New
Market is aiming to ‘acquire, produce and distribute diverse films’ which would suit mine because mine is
diverse and they will be used to distributing films from new directors with lesser known actors in it.
