Film distribution companies are responsible for releasing films to the public through cinema screenings or home video releases like DVD. There are different types of distributors that specialize in certain genres or budget levels. For a low-budget British film that wouldn't require expensive stunts or be a major blockbuster, the author considered smaller, low-budget British distributors would be the best fit to target the film's audience.

2. The Role Film Distribution Companies Play.
 Film distribution companies are responsible for
releasing films to the public.
 They can either distribute films using the cinemas or
by giving home release, so the film comes out on
DVD.

3. Film Distributing Companies
 There are many different types of film distribution
companies that I researched.
 Some specialise in lower budget films, for example.
Film 4. Others specialise in distributing blockbusters
that can cost millions, like Warner Brothers.

4. Specialities.
 Some distribution companies may specialise or
distribute more films that fit into a certain genre.
 Whilst researching, I considered the budget we’d
need and whether it’d be a cinema-release film or
whether it’d go straight to DVD.

5. Our Film
 Because of the nature of our film, I thought a small,
low budget distributor would be best, especially
because the film wouldn’t require many expensive
stunts, or be a massive blockbuster, in the cinemas.
 I researched some British film distributors, as this
targets our film specifically at a British audience and
they may relate to the film better.

6.  Magnolia pictures is an American film distributor
that specialises in both foreign and independent
films
 They distributed great films such as Let The Right
One In, The Oxford Murders and Hobo With A
Shotgun.
 I think they would be suitable because the films they
release aren’t massive blockbuster films, (like ours).
However, they also aren’t suitable because they don’t
specialise in low budget films.
