The filmmaker has decided to distribute their thriller film "Timor" independently in Britain. They believe Summit Entertainment is the ideal distribution company as it has experience distributing similar genre films like the Twilight series. Festivals provide exposure and a way for distribution companies to discover independent films. The filmmaker plans to submit Timor to major festivals like Berlin, Venice, and Cannes. Given Timor's low budget and 15 rating, it will have a limited release in independent cinemas around the summer holidays to target audiences aged 15 and up who are on break.

2. My Thriller and how it will be
distributed?
We have decided as a group that our film Timor
will be an independent British film ad will be
distributed by small distribution companies such
as Summit Entertainment (E1 Entertainment)

3. Why Summit Entertainment is the ideal
company to distribute my thriller film?
Summit Entertainment is an independent film
company based within California. The company is
mostly known for distributing the first 3 movies of
the Twilight Saga series. This makes Summit
Entertainment the likely and most ideal company to
distribute my thriller film ‘Timor’ as my thriller film,
similarly to Twilight is also a thriller. Therefore
making it easier for the company to guess the profit
made back at box office by comparing to other films
distributed of the same genre.

4. Festivals as a way of exposure and
promotion
Festivals are a good way to have independent
films watched by film distribution companies as it
helps showcase talent. Even if the film does not
agree with the audience the film makers still get
exposer and recognition from just submitting their
film.
There are many popular film festivals but the most
well known is the Big Three which is located in
Cannes, Venice, Berlin.

5. Timor’s release pattern and plan
As my thriller ‘Timor’ is a low budget
independent film with the age rating of 15, it
we have chosen that it will be released into
independent cinemas such as Picture House
and will have 1-2 screens.

6. Release Date
It will be released around the summer holidays
when most people around the age of 15 and up
will be having breaks from their education and
work lives.
