Pathé UK would be a good choice to distribute the media group's British independent film because Pathé is a fully integrated UK studio that handles all aspects of filmmaking, including production and distribution. Pathé has experience distributing horror and thriller films in the UK, such as the successful 2004 British horror Creep. Additionally, Pathé's London office and focus on UK distribution would make it a suitable partner for a domestic independent film.
