Vertigo Films is a UK film distribution company founded in 2002 that has produced and distributed several psychological horror films, including The Children, and could potentially distribute the filmmakers' psychological horror film. The filmmakers argue that partnering with a company like Vertigo Films, which has successfully distributed several films, would provide a higher budget that could improve filming equipment, editing software, props, locations, and cast.

Focus Features distributed both Closed Circuits and The Debt, films similar to Misjudged that deal with terrorism and interrogation scenes. The document discusses how Focus Features' marketing and advice contributed to the success of those films, and how the filmmakers of Misjudged incorporated elements from Closed Circuits and The Debt, such as mysterious characters, dramatic lighting contrasts, and interrogation scenes, in an attempt to achieve similar success through Focus Features' distribution. However, Closed Circuits and The Debt were seen to establish their themes and settings more effectively than Misjudged could in an opening sequence.

U,pg,12a,15,18

U films are suitable for audiences aged 4 and over. They may contain brief fight scenes or kissing but no hardcore violence or sexual activity. PG films are suitable for all ages but younger children should consider if content may upset them. PG films can contain brief sexuality or violence. 12A/12 ratings mean that 12A films can be seen unaccompanied in cinemas while 12 ratings apply to home media which must be accompanied for those under 12. 15 and 18 ratings prohibit access to those below the age limits and contain increasingly strong language, violence, nudity and sex.

Warner Brothers would be a good media institution to distribute the filmmaker's dystopian drama because: - Warner Brothers has a history of producing films with similar tones and genres, such as The Dark Knight and I Am Legend, that also portray dystopian futures - The filmmaker's movie shares similarities in storytelling techniques with these Warner Brothers films - Warner Brothers has the large budget and resources needed to produce the special effects and hire A-list stars required for the film, and to market it for maximum profits given its wide audience appeal
