Film4 would be the most effective distributor for the film. Distribution is crucial for a film's success in reaching its target audience. While companies like Disney and Warner Brothers distribute blockbuster and family films, and the film's plot is more suited to independent viewers. Film4 has experience distributing similar gangster genre films to the intended audience for this independent film. Miramax is also an independent option worth considering.

2. • Distribution is how a film is advertised and released.
• Distribution of a film is crucial to its success, without efficient
distribution a film will not reach an audience and without correct
distribution, the distribution companies could also struggle for
example, a horror film wouldn’t be distributed by Dreamworks.
• For our piece, we need to find a distribution company that will
affectively distribute our film to the correct audience and promote
our film in a way that will gain interest.
What are distribution companies?

3. • Would Disney be an effective distribution?
I don’t think Disney would be an effective distributer as they tend to promote
blockbusters and family films and our film is far from that as our audience is
restricted and would benefit as an independent film.
• Would Warner Brothers be an effective distribution?
Warner brothers has distributed a wide variety of films but I believe that a more
independent company would benefit from our product, the detailed plot is more
suited to independent film watchers.

4. • Would Film4 be an effective distribution?
However I believe that the best distribution would be Film4 as they have
distributed similar films and films of the gangster genre, and is well known but
independent, perfect for the target audience.
• Would Miramax be an effective distribution?
Miramax is an independent company and so would be suited to the audience we
are looking for, it is definitely one to consider is we were to distribute it.
