The document discusses the production and distribution companies used for a student film project. A small local production company called CandiStudios and distribution company called EyeWatch films were used due to their low budgets, suitability for a student film, and focus on a college audience. For a global professional release, Sony would be used as the production company for their higher budget and A-list actors, and Warner Bros. as the distribution company for their large size and name recognition to attract wider audiences.
