Based on research of post-apocalyptic films, the author found that independent studios like Strike Entertainment and Village Roadshow Pictures, which produced successful films like Children of Men and I Am Legend, would be suitable distributors. However, a major studio like Warner Bros. could also distribute the film on a larger scale and make a larger profit due to their bigger budget. In the end, the author included the fictional studio names "Whiteboard Studios Presents" and "A Brouxton Film" in the opening titles of their own film.
