3. • We have decided that ‘Lionsgate’ should be the
institution to distribute our Thriller Production. This is
because of the amount of success they have had with
the past thriller films they have distributed, including
the well known ‘’Saw’’ sequels. All 6 of the ‘Saw’
sequels have been successful amongst the thriller
audience which is why choosing them will be
beneficial. ‘Lionsgate’ also has a good reputation
amongst audiences as well as the industry.
• Other films produced by Lionsgate that follow the
Thriller genre as their narrative also portrays the story
of a young female who has an alternative side to them
are ‘Jessable’ and ‘American Pyshco’.
• Because of this, I can trust that Lionsgate will allow us
to produce a great thriller film that will be part of their
franchise of successful thriller films.
