An independent distribution company would be more likely to distribute the filmmakers' product, exhibiting it in smaller independent cinemas to more avid film fans, as major distributors tend to show films in large multiplex cinemas.

Momentum Pictures in particular would be a suitable indie distributor given their success in the UK and Ireland across different film genres.
