distribute your media product and why?
Tallulah Cooper

2. Lionsgate
 We chose Lionsgate because it has published a lot of well known films like La La Land,
Nashville etc. They work in the Entertainment and Television broadcasting industry. It was
founded in July 10th 1997, 19 years ago. It is an American, Canadian- domiciled
entertainment and media company. It generated the seventh- highest gross revenue in
north America 2015, it contains divisions such as Lionsgate Television and Lionsgate
Interactive. It also owns subsidiaries such as the American film production company
Summit Entertainment, and Debmar- Mercury, which was acquired by Lionsgate in 2006.
 Lionsgate produced series such as Nashville, Anger Management, The Dead Zone, Five
Day To Midnight, Weeds, Nurse Jaackie, etc.
 They also own their own record label and music publishing company. Lionsgate Music and
Publishing. They joined ventures with music publishing company Sony Music Australia.
 We decided to use Lionsgate because they do not usually make thriller films which is why
we thought it would be different and unique if they published or represented diffewrent
type of film. Also, it contrasts with our thriler because the opening is calm and nice which
totally contratss our thriller which is emotional and not oeacfyl like Lionsgate or the
opening.

3. Universal
 If we was to make the full film we would use universal as our distribution company
because it is an American film studio. This company was founded in 1912 on April 30th. It
is one of the oldest surviving studio in the United States which has been founded for 104
years. The headquarters are Universal City, California, United States, Neuilly-sur-Seine,
Paris, France, London, England, United Kingdom.
 They have produced films like Jurassic World, E.T, Jurassic Park and The Secret Life of
Pets.
 We thought that Universal would be a good one to use because they have big audiences
and not niche ones, meaning that we would get a lot of audiences and watchers on the full
thriller film, this would be the company we would use if the thriller opening was a whole
movie.
 Also, they have produced films in the past which are thrillers so it would go well with that.
For example ‘Jaws’ and ‘The thing’ are also thriller films.
