10. Conclusion
From the research that I have been gathering
about the different film studios I have come to
the conclusion that Lionsgate would be the best
to distribute any film products. They mainly
specialise in horror and thrillers therefore it
would best link to my genre of film. I have also
chosen Lionsgate as they are bigger than both
Paramount and Columbia and they are also
more controlled
