20th Century Fox, Lionsgate, Paramount...All of these companies
are easily recognisable as being related to film; but what do they
do?
These companies are all responsible for the distribution of films
from the producers to the consumers who are, in this case, the
audience.
Film distribution is the final crucial step in making a film as without
it, it would be impossible for films to be enjoyed by people either at
home or in the cinema.
