Film4 is known for producing successful independent coming-of-age films and working with small international film producers. They are interested in the film because it is an independent project focused on a topic not widely covered that could resonate with audiences who have experienced abuse. Film4 also saw potential in the young actors and likes to help develop new talent. They felt the film's raw style would appeal more to audiences than if it were overproduced by a larger studio.

1. Q3: What kind of media
institution might distribute your
product and why?

2. Me: This is an interview between me and the
managing director of Film4 production, Daniel
Battsek.

3. Me: What type of films do Film4 tend to
produce?

4. David: We have a reputation for producing some
of the most successful independent coming of age
films ever. We also work with small international
film producers to create a variety of films for
different demographics.

5. Me: Why do you think our film is suitable for
your film company to produce?

6. David: As I said before, we like to make unique
independent film projects, just like yours, which
makes it a perfect fit for our film company. A few
of our films include ‘127 hours’,’12 years a slave’,
and ‘Starred Up’. Your film would be great for us as
it is a small production which is what we specialise
in.

7. Me: What was it about our idea in particular that
made you want to invest your time, effort and
money into it?

8. David: We liked your idea because there aren’t many films about
abuse on the market as it attracts a different demographic. I though it
would reach out to a lot of people who have suffered abuse and from
abuse and I feel it will get a passionate audience. We saw some great
potential in your actors William Campbell and Josh Moore and here at
Film4 we help develop young actors and help them reach their
potential. Working with young British talent is something we really
value here at Film4. Further more we didn’t want your film to be
overproduced by a bigger film studio and thought that we could help
give it a raw look to it. Your audience would also be able to identify
with the film if it wasn’t over produced by one of the ‘big six’ film
production companies.
