4. StudioCanal UK (Optimum Releasing/Home Entertainment/Classics)
• A UK film distributor
• Release more than just British films suggesting that they are well
known, internationally.
• Independent distribution
• Release films both in theatre and for home entertainment
This is a suitable film distributor for our film because it specializes in
releasing British films especially considering that our target audience is
focused in the UK. This is an independent distribution which is easier when
coming to offers. It is a smaller distribution than most however, out
audience is nationally targeted.
