6. The works
● The works is a UK distribution company which was founded by Mick
Southworth and Laurance Gornall in 2005. It is one of the UK's leading
independent film distributors which features films and documentaries.
“The company has enjoyed success with a wide range of films”.
● I think The Works would distribute my film because they have distributed
a “wide range films” and I think the storyline to my film is something
different to the other films they have distributed.
● Some films that have distributed: John Cameron Mitchell's Shortbus,
Sergei Bodrov's Mongol: The Rise To Power of Genghis Khan, Julie
Delpy's Two Days in Paris and many more.

7. Reliance Entertainment
●
Reliance Entertainment is a owned by Reliance Anil
Dhirubhai Ambani Group handling its media and
entertainment business, across content and distribution
platforms. It is a UK distributor and has many links to other
companies.
●
Reliance Entertainment has many distributed a wide
range of films but many are action based.
●
One of the films that Reliance Entertainment has
distributed is the new film, “Need for Speed”, also
Cowboy and Alians. Both of these films are really heavily
action based and this is why I think they could distribute
my film.
