RSY Productions is an independent UK-based production company that produces films like Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging. It has more creative freedom than conglomerate companies but lower budgets, limiting equipment, stars, and post-production. Its distribution partner, 21st Century Chien based in California, specializes in British films and has less pressure for huge profits from low-budget films. However, both companies have limited marketing budgets, no large premieres or worldwide releases, and distribute through independent cinemas and online only.

question 3 evaluation
The document discusses potential media institutions that could distribute an independent romantic comedy film with a low budget. Universal Studios is identified as the top choice due to its wide promotion of the genre and ability to bring attention to the film. However, the document later acknowledges that a smaller independent distributor like Sony Pictures Classics may have been a better fit given the film's budget. It also notes that self-distribution through online platforms is a viable option in today's media landscape.
Institutional research
The document discusses potential film distribution companies to partner with. It analyzes several major studios like Lionsgate, Paramount, and 20th Century Fox, noting the types of films they typically distribute and potential gaps to fill. It also considers smaller, independent distributors like Vertigo Films and Samuel Goldwyn Films that may be more suited for certain film genres or budgets. The document provides research on distribution models and a variety of options to explore for finding a partner to distribute a new film product.
Production and Distribution Company
The filmmakers created their own production company called "Studios" and distribution company called "Stomp Out Camp" for their low-budget independent film, rather than using well-known major studios, to make the opening more realistically match their limited budget. They chose smaller independent companies similar to their own film to distribute it through social media promotion rather than widespread campaigns used for bigger blockbusters.
Production
The production company featured in the film titles was Candi Media Studios because it would be unrealistic to feature major Hollywood studios given the extremely low budget. They had no funds and only a couple weeks to film and edit, so using independent UK companies would have been more realistic but they wanted to be creative and stand out by creating their own distribution company called Stomp Out Camp Distributions. Their target audience was teenagers and young adults who would immediately recognize it as being made by similarly aged people. However, the document's author acknowledges that with such a low budget, appealing to a mass market of 15-30 year olds would be difficult and a niche market using social media would be more realistic. The homemade production and distribution companies were chosen
Question 3 hollywood
The document discusses choosing between a Hollywood studio and independent studio to distribute a film about a secret organization. A Hollywood studio like Warner Brothers or Sony Pictures is recommended because they could afford the higher costs to make the film, unlike an independent studio. Sony Pictures in particular has experience distributing similar films like 21 Jump Street and Men in Black that involve secret organizations and spies. Sony Pictures also has a wide range of audiences that would be good fit for the film, including younger, medium-aged, and older audiences. The document concludes that Sony Pictures would be a good choice to distribute the film because of their experience in this genre and because they already have the target audience as fans.
Question 3 hollywood
Sony Pictures would be the best company to distribute the film due to their experience producing similar genre films. As a large Hollywood studio, they have the funds to produce an action/comedy film about a secret organization, unlike smaller independent studios. Sony has distributed films like 21 Jump Street and Men in Black that share similarities to the proposed film. They also have experience marketing to the target younger and medium-aged audiences that would enjoy this type of movie.
Media TASK 3...
This document discusses film distribution strategies. It explains that a distributor is responsible for releasing a film to the widest possible audience. They develop a release strategy that determines when and where the film will be shown. Distributors must secure exhibition deals with cinemas and spend money marketing the film through posters, trailers, and social media to generate interest. Large studios like Universal distribute globally and spend millions promoting major films, while independent distributors like Soda Pictures focus on more niche films with smaller budgets. The document proposes that Soda Pictures would be a good fit to distribute the independent, low-budget British film being discussed.
Evaluation Task 3
Icon Film Distribution would be most likely to produce the filmmakers' thriller based on what they have created so far. As an independent UK film distributor that has produced over 200 films, including low-budget titles like Paranormal Activity, Icon supports original films from inexperienced directors. Similarly, 20th Century Fox could potentially produce the film as a full-length movie, as the proposed thriller shares conventions and elements with Fox titles like Alien that feature strong female protagonists and suspense. The filmmakers analyze why both studios might be interested in their idea based on their experience and openness to independent productions.

Media ownership
The document discusses several aspects of the films Skyfall and Ill Manors. It outlines some key advantages of big budget films like Skyfall, such as special effects, famous actors, large crews, and controlled locations. It also discusses details of the production, distribution, and marketing of Skyfall by Sony and MGM, including their use of cross-media convergence and viral marketing. Some similarities and differences between the two films are noted, such as their British themes and box office performances, as well as their different genres.
Sky fall research
The distributors of Skyfall were MGM and Sony Pictures Entertainment, two major Hollywood studios. Skyfall had an initial release in the UK and Europe in late October 2012, followed by a US release in early November. The film was then distributed worldwide over the next few months. Skyfall was very successfully marketed through various strategies, including posters in London, a James Bond fragrance tie-in, trailers on YouTube and Sony products, and an Adele soundtrack single. The film was a major commercial success, grossing over $950 million worldwide.
Question 3 media
This document discusses marketing strategies for a low-budget thriller film called "BREAK IN". It will target audiences ages 15 and older. Due to the low budget, it will be distributed initially in the UK and US, which have large audiences interested in stalking thriller genres. Marketing will focus on word of mouth, free screenings to gather feedback, an online distribution site for independent films, and film festivals with simple advertisement options. The goal is to test audience reception and see if the film could later expand to more countries.
Remaking film essay
The document discusses several reasons why films may be remade and provides examples. It analyzes the Spanish film REC (2007) and its American remake Quarantine (2009), noting they were shot similarly but the remake had a larger budget and more famous actors. It also examines the remake of The Karate Kid (2010), highlighting how the involvement of Will Smith and Jackie Chan helped market the film and related products. Columbia Pictures distributed both films, showing how remakes can utilize horizontal integration between production and distribution for profit.
Evaluation 3
Columbia Pictures would be well-suited to produce and distribute the thriller film as a full-length movie. Columbia Pictures specializes in action and thriller genres, similar to the film's two-minute opening. They have a history of producing successful thrillers like Salt, Identity, S.W.A.T., and Angels and Demons. As one of the major Hollywood studios, Columbia Pictures has the resources and experience to widely market and distribute the film to target audiences of 20-30 year olds.
Remake essay
1) Companies remake films for profit, as production values and technology have advanced, allowing for higher quality remakes that appeal to wider audiences.
2) Remakes of popular franchises like Batman are low-risk endeavors that build on existing audiences and intellectual property, ensuring financial success.
3) Political and social contexts can impact remakes, like how Steven Spielberg remade War of the Worlds to reflect post-9/11 fears rather than Cold War anxieties of the 1953 original.
EMPIRE VS TotalFilm
This document compares the film magazines Total Film and Empire and explains why the authors chose to partner with Empire. Total Film is the second biggest selling film magazine in the UK but it has a smaller global audience. Empire is the biggest selling film magazine in the UK and also publishes internationally, giving it a larger potential audience for the authors' film. Empire's large readership across different age groups in the UK also means the film would be seen not just by their target 15+ audience. Therefore, the authors chose Empire as it would give their British-made film greater exposure both domestically and globally.
What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?
The document discusses how the student's film opening sequence is similar to big budget action films produced by major studios. It analyzes how a company like Columbia Pictures, which is part of Sony, could potentially distribute the film widely using extensive marketing campaigns across multiple media platforms. With a blockbuster marketing budget and distribution through major cinema chains and later DVD/streaming, the document argues the student's film could succeed financially and possibly become a film franchise.
Question 3
The production company chosen is Paramount, a major studio known for similar teen films like Mean Girls and Footloose. A major studio will provide a large budget and handle distribution tasks like advertising, premieres, and using social media to promote the film.
For distribution, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer was selected. As a major company founded in the 1920s, they have successfully distributed similar girly films with comedy and romance. While major studios provide financial assistance and distribution infrastructure, independent films have less control over changes made during distribution and face challenges promoting and licensing the film.
ZombieFezitval
Zombie FeZtival Productions is pitching a horror film called "Zombie FeZtival on Bone Pile Island" and the opportunity to establish a zombie franchise. The film follows two friends who are turned into zombies while fishing near a music festival. Their attack kicks off the zombie outbreak among the festival attendees. The pitch highlights the $5 billion "Everything Zombie" retail industry and consumer loyalty to zombie properties as evidence of the genre's profit potential. Zombie FeZtival Productions is seeking $1.5 million to produce the film and establish the franchise through sequels and ancillary markets.
Institution
Unusually, the high-budget film The Amazing Spider-Man was produced by the less well-known Columbia Pictures compared to the big six studio 20th Century Fox which produced the low-budget Paranormal Activity. However, both films were very popular and profitable despite their different budgets and producer reputations. Usually larger, more established studios like 20th Century Fox are associated with higher budget, more profitable films.
Institutions Task
The document compares two major film studios, 20th Century Fox and Momentum Pictures/FilmDistrict. 20th Century Fox is one of the largest and oldest studios, known for blockbusters like Avatar and classics like The Sound of Music. Momentum Pictures and FilmDistrict are much smaller, younger studios. While they have found success with lower budget films like Insidious, they have not achieved the same level of recognition as 20th Century Fox and have since been acquired by larger companies. The document analyzes differences in budgets, box office returns, film genres, target audiences, and overall success between larger and smaller film studios.
Question 3 for evaluation
Hammer Film Productions would be a suitable media institution to distribute my media product. Hammer Films is a famous UK-based film production company known for producing successful horror films. Distributing through Hammer would leverage their experience and reputation in the horror genre to effectively promote the production to teenagers and young adults. Hammer also has a partnership with Warner Bros, which could provide access to A-list talent, equipment, and publicity that would increase the financial success and recognition of the production.

This presentation was made for my A2 media coursework. In this task, I looked at film studio's, what make them successful and the differences between independent film companies and conglomerates.
Media ownership
The document discusses the advantages that large film studios like Sony and MGM have over small independent studios when producing and distributing films. It notes that big studios can utilize advanced special effects, famous actors, large budgets, extensive marketing campaigns, product placements, and global distribution - allowing them to achieve broad audience appeal. In contrast, small studios have unknown casts, lower production values, and more limited advertising budgets targeting specific audiences.
Lo3
The document discusses various marketing strategies for an upcoming James Bond film, including:
1) Holding a press junket in London with many of the same UK and international newspapers, magazines, radio and TV outlets invited as for previous Bond films.
2) Aiming trailers for the new film at audiences of other 12 rated and action/thriller genre films.
3) Creating viral marketing campaigns, while being careful that content is appropriate and doesn't give too much of the film away.
Evaluation 2 final
The document discusses a student film project and its distribution. It was shown to teachers who provided feedback on improving the music quality and transitions. Warner Bros. was identified as a suitable distributor given their similar films. The film was released on YouTube and DVD. So far it has accumulated 80 YouTube views and sold 4 DVD copies. Sneak peaks were posted on Instagram to promote the film. A survey found the target audience is males aged 16-18, and most felt the action genre was suitable but some felt the title needed improvement. Feedback focused on improving the music and transitions.
Institutions
The document discusses potential production companies and distributors for a documentary film called "Chasing Happiness". It analyzes three potential production companies - Grassroots Films, Spring Films, and Mosaic Films - and selects Mosaic Films, citing their experience with documentaries and connections to the film's subject matter.
For distribution, it considers using a sales agent or distributor. It decides on a distributor to maximize opportunities for festival screenings and increase the film's value. Three potential distributors are analyzed - Journeyman Pictures, Dazzle, and Dogwoof - with Journeyman Pictures selected for their specialized focus on documentaries and sophisticated online marketing.
Evaluation question 3
An independent company would likely distribute the film "Patient Zero" because it has a limited budget and unknown actors. The film would be filmed in accessible local locations like woods near home to cut costs, rather than extravagant overseas settings. It would start in a few cinemas and increase screens over time as it becomes known, then move to television and online. Distribution would initially be just in Britain to experiment with audiences there, and potentially expand to the US later if successful. Advertising would be on low-cost websites and a short television spot, rather than extensive formats used by big Hollywood films due to the smaller budget. River Road Entertainment would be a suitable production company since they make low-budget films in similar genres.
The Source x Contraband Recap Final (2012)
This document outlines a 360 marketing campaign for the film "Contraband" that includes print, digital, social media, and press components. It discusses advertising in The Source magazine, digital ads on The Source's website and YouTube channel, promoted social media posts, and press coverage including articles and interviews. It also summarizes the results of exclusive screenings held in Philadelphia, Chicago, and Atlanta through partnerships with radio stations and grassroots marketing distributing passes to various local businesses. The screenings had high attendance rates between 75-98% capacity and engaged audiences.

Possible distributors
The document compares three potential film distributors - BFI, Cinema 16, and Left LTD. BFI is an experienced distributor with connections to cinemas and festivals but the film may get lost among their large catalog. Cinema 16 focuses on short film DVD releases and has worked with major directors, but only offers DVD distribution. Left LTD distributes across cinema, DVD, and online formats and helps with marketing, but their films are mostly comedies unlike the psychological thriller being considered.

Our production company, Grave Productions, focuses on thriller/horror films. It aims to help independent filmmakers get their work noticed. As an independent British production company, it received funding from the film council to produce its film opening. The opening credits featured individual credits for the British cast and crew in traditional order, with the director's name last. Similar independent films like "Amy" had limited releases in art houses and independent cinemas before expanding. For distribution, the production company chose Sigma Films in Scotland due to its success with the similar genre film "Citadel" and support for small producers through events like Film City Glasgow.

It provides examples of major production companies from each country/region and notes they each produce different genres of films and television shows. Smaller, independent production companies tend to have smaller budgets and distribute their films differently than larger, major studios. The success of a film depends on factors like the involved actors, director, and production company. Film awards are also discussed as a way for films and their creators to be recognized.
Media Studies Evaluation 3
The student analyzed potential media institutions to distribute their post-apocalyptic film. Major studios like Warner Bros and Lionsgate were deemed unsuitable due to the film's low budget and lack of famous actors. Independent British film companies like DNA Films and Palace Pictures would be more interested since they distribute similar genre films set in Britain. The student also proposed advertising the film at small UK film festivals focused on new British directors, such as the British Independent Film Festival, rather than large cinema chains that prioritize blockbuster films.
Aa main film industry power point
This document discusses key aspects of film marketing and distribution. It begins by explaining that distributors must identify a film's unique selling point to appeal to audiences. They will emphasize elements like stars, special effects, or the director. The distributor then decides how to position the film in promotional materials like posters and trailers. Marketing is crucial, and can involve techniques such as posters, trailers, online content, screenings, interviews, merchandise, and film festivals. An effective marketing strategy is important to maximize a film's commercial success.
question 3 media evaluation
This document discusses options for distributing a thriller film. It considers using large conglomerate film companies in the US like Warner Brothers, New Line Cinema, and Paramount, which have global reach but may want to change aspects of the film. UK companies like Bedlam Productions, Between the Eyes, and Archer Street Films could keep the film's British identity but not have global distribution. Independent British companies could access lottery funding but films must meet criteria. The conclusion is that Between the Eyes would be the best choice as it has had success and influence to get the film recognized in UK cinemas while maintaining its British identity.
What type of media institution might distribute your film?
Backdoor Productions is an up-and-coming independent film production company. They create their own films by handling filming, editing, and directing. As an independent company with a smaller budget, Aspect Films may be interested in distributing their films. Aspect Films is a small, reputable production company based in London and Bristol that has worked with companies like Samsung. Distributing Backdoor Productions' films could provide Aspect Films an opportunity to work on a larger-scale project and with a company that produces quality films independently.
Q3
This document discusses budget considerations and distribution strategy for the film "Conjecture". It notes that Conjecture has a small budget as it does not require large explosions like modern thrillers. This prevents the film from going into debt if it is unsuccessful. The document recommends initially distributing the film within the EU to get focused feedback before broader releases due to less competition. It also compares Conjecture favorably to the Bourne trilogy which had a larger budget and worldwide distribution.
Presentation1 david
The document discusses film distribution, which is the process of making a movie available for audiences to watch through various methods like theatrical release or home video. Large distributors like 20th Century Fox have a better chance of getting a film noticed by more people. Low-budget films may struggle if they go with smaller distributors with less reach. The film being discussed is a British teen drama movie about college students, and the distributor has successfully distributed similar American teen films in the past. While aimed mainly at a U.K. audience given its location and themes, the film features three distinct character types to appeal to different audiences. The strategy suggested is to release a trailer in cinemas and on television to promote the genre of the
Distribution
Distribution is important for marketing and releasing a film to audiences. A film distributor is responsible for setting the release date and deciding how the film is distributed and marketed. Some major film distribution companies are Warner Brothers, Columbia, Universal, Paramount, and 20th Century Fox. The document suggests that Entertainment One may be interested in distributing the film discussed due to their success with similar genres and lack of British films. Marketing strategies discussed include using posters, social media, websites and video trailers online due to a limited budget. Self-distributing is an option but comes with the drawback of being very time consuming.
Question 3
The document discusses potential media institutions that could distribute a new production company's media product. It suggests that film festivals are a good option, as major production companies scout for new ideas at festivals and may promote or acquire independent films. Online distribution through platforms like YouTube or Netflix is also discussed as a profitable option with low costs. The production company could also partner with smaller companies like Isle of Man Films or directly distribute to streaming services and retailers like Amazon to market the film online and on streaming devices. Physical distribution methods like DVD or Blu-ray releases are also mentioned.
Distirbution
Optimum is a major UK film distribution company that releases films across several strands, including theatrical releases, DVD/Blu-ray releases, classic films, and world cinema. It has distributed over 200 films per year and focuses on British and independent films. Small, independent distributors will release lower budget films without big stars in independent cinemas, while large companies get films into major cinemas and have massive promotion budgets. The document discusses how an independent horror film without stars could be distributed through a small British distributor or online platforms like iTunes to build an audience.
Distribution
Optimum is a major UK film distribution company that releases over 200 films per year across four categories. It focuses on British and world cinema. The document discusses that Optimum would be interested in distributing a British independent film. It then contrasts the strategies of large distribution companies like Paramount versus smaller independent distributors. Large companies have major marketing budgets and cinema partnerships to ensure wide releases and profits. However, they typically require big budgets and stars. Independent distributors work with lower budget and non-star films, focusing on limited releases through independent cinemas and festivals. The document suggests an independent British horror film without stars or budget would be best suited to a small UK distributor.
Q3 production company
Paramount Pictures will distribute our film "Fixation" through their production company Lost City. As the distributor, Paramount will determine how many copies to make and screen the film to theaters to negotiate lease agreements. They will then send prints to theaters before the opening date. By partnering with a major studio like Paramount, our film is almost guaranteed a return and wide release.
Evaluation question 3
The document discusses distribution strategies for an independent film with a small budget. It recommends distributing the film through independent film companies, as they typically handle smaller, niche films. It also suggests promoting the film at film festivals to build an audience and interest in the film. Finally, it proposes using online methods like websites and social media to widely promote the film and create a fan base, as digital promotion can help independent films succeed with limited funds.
UK Film Distribution For Our Film
Slide share of what the UK film distribution industry is, how it works and what company I would ideally have to distribute my AS media film.
Evaluation Task 3
- The document discusses options for distributing an independent film produced outside of major studios
- It considers targeting independent distributors like StudioCanal UK that have experience with low-budget, niche films from new directors
- Self-distribution is discussed but deemed riskier due to lack of experience, resources, and connections that distributors provide
- The author proposes marketing the film differently in the UK/Ireland versus the US, playing up its depiction of unfamiliar British youth culture to American audiences
Evaluation Activity 3
A production company oversees all aspects of filmmaking from pre-production through post-production and is responsible for the budget, script, actors, and ensuring a successful film. Terror Craze Productions is a new production company that chose its name to sound professional and indicate it is a production company. A distributor handles marketing, promotion, release dates, and distribution of a film to theaters and home release. For their small-budget film, Terror Craze Productions would choose a smaller distributor like Lionsgate in the UK to first release in art house cinemas then DVD, Blu-Ray, and on demand, in order to distribute the film cost effectively within their means as a new, small production company.

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity server
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).

Chris Jones, Director of Product Management at BrainChip , presents the “Temporal Event Neural Networks: A More Efficient Alternative to the Transformer” tutorial at the May 2024 Embedded Vision Summit.
The expansion of AI services necessitates enhanced computational capabilities on edge devices. Temporal Event Neural Networks (TENNs), developed by BrainChip, represent a novel and highly efficient state-space network. TENNs demonstrate exceptional proficiency in handling multi-dimensional streaming data, facilitating advancements in object detection, action recognition, speech enhancement and language model/sequence generation. Through the utilization of polynomial-based continuous convolutions, TENNs streamline models, expedite training processes and significantly diminish memory requirements, achieving notable reductions of up to 50x in parameters and 5,000x in energy consumption compared to prevailing methodologies like transformers.
Integration with BrainChip’s Akida neuromorphic hardware IP further enhances TENNs’ capabilities, enabling the realization of highly capable, portable and passively cooled edge devices. This presentation delves into the technical innovations underlying TENNs, presents real-world benchmarks, and elucidates how this cutting-edge approach is positioned to revolutionize edge AI across diverse applications.Presentation of the OECD Artificial Intelligence Review of Germany

zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.

Production and Distribution companies
- 2. PRODUCTION COMPANY Our production company is called RSY Productions INC. It is an independent production based in London, UK.
- 3. PROS The producer and director have more creative freedom and are freely able to have their own input There’s less stress on the producer and director as there is no budget Little fee to pay for the location usage Free from conglomerate companiess Less pressure to make a blockbuster movie
- 4. CONS Although it can be seen as a pro, having a low budget can be a negative because you can’t afford the high-quality camera and equipment Lack of money will not attract big stars as you will not be able to pay their fees Limited on location choices Smaller crew Reduces access to expensive post-production
- 5. MORE ABOUT THE COMPANY RSY Productions are the type of production company to produce films such as Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging. We decided to go with an independent film production company because it would give the small stars their first big leading role without the pressure to be perfect. It would also be a good work experience for the smaller crew.
- 6. DISTRIBUTION COMPANY Our distribution company is called 21st Century Chien, which is based in California, USA, but take an interest in distributing British films.
- 7. PROS There is less pressure to make a lot of money from it because there isn’t a lot of money to make up for it (low budget) Elaborate campaigns aren’t needed The films become popular at film festivals and they’re likely to get critical acclaim Less chance of failure
- 8. CONS Limited marketing (e.g. billboards on buses and on the street), but because of this, they might use the internet more to market their films No synergous campaigns (e.g. no toys, soundtracks, clothes, games, etc.) Because of the limited marketing, there will be no big red carpet premieres with lots of press, which could be a downfall for the stars There will be no worldwide release
- 9. MORE ABOUT THE COMPANY 21st Century Chien have done well in previous film festivals such as 168 Film Festival, Dances With Films and Mods & Rockers Film Festival, where SOATG has been entered for all three. Because of the interest in British films, the films are shown in small independent cinemas in California (some where teenagers get a discount), New York and Florida. For the other American states, the film is uploaded online on the company website. In the UK, it’s shown in independent cinemas in London, Manchester, and Belfast.
