This document discusses potential film distribution companies for the movie "Gone" and recommends Momentum Pictures. It outlines Lionsgate as a major studio known for action films, Momentum as a leading UK independent distributor releasing around 20 films per year of various genres including horror, and Universal as one of the largest studios with a global reach but diverse films. It chooses Momentum because they are UK-based, specialize in horror, and would be a good fit as an independent studio for a first-time film.
