A production company would distribute the media project. Production companies are responsible for budgeting, casting, scripting and scheduling for a film. They also have creative control over the project. Specifically, Miramax Films might distribute the project because they have successfully distributed thriller films in the past with similar themes of people being held hostage or kidnapped. Funding for the project would come from government sources and the distribution company in order to raise awareness of safety issues. Merchandise would also be sold to raise additional funds.
