Code Red: Getting distributed.
Getting distributed as a small, very low budget movie was extremely
   hard, but we managed to find a distribution company: Imagine
Studios, who agreed to distribute our movie opening even though it
   wasn’t the best names or actors in the movie. Our search for a
 distribution company was long, but we finally found one, and they
    were extremely helpful in getting our movie a bit more know.
  Obviously because the company isn't too well known either, our
  movie wasn’t show in various locations but we managed to get it
            shown in a cinema called green on the screen.
If we had a larger budget…
• If he had a larger budget we would’ve been
  able to be working with some of the larger
  distribution companies for example
  Paramount pictures, the distributer for movies
  like Shutter Island, The Devil Inside and Shrek.
The issue with Paramount pictures
• One of the problems with trying to get a
  company like this to distribute your film, is the
  fact that we didn’t have any actors that would the
  appeal to them, and getting in contact with them
  would be close to impossible for such a small
  group of media students. For paramount pictures
  their main interests are to distribute movies like
  Shutter Island all the time, the best selling
  suspense(Thriller) of 2010. Shutter Island helped
  the suspense area make £42,441,123 in 2010.
  Therefore trying to get a company like that to
  distribute or movie would be extremely hard…
Reasons why a company like that would be a
        good distributer for our thriller
• If we had a very well known distributer like paramount
  pictures we would have been able to get our thriller shown in
  many more locations and countries other than just the Green
  Screen in Angel. It would allow us to have a much wider
  audience. Also it would help us become more known so that if
  we were to make the rest of the film and release it, we would
  then hopefully have a worldwide audience that would know
  about our film which would help our sales.
Getting Code Red Produced.
• Getting Code Red produced was a lot easier
  than getting it distributed. As we are students
  in CandI we had CandI Studios to produce our
  film for us.
Why we didn’t have a big production company

• They are incredibly hard to get into contact
  with, and they aren't likely to invest a lot of
  money into such a low budget film being
  scripted by media students.
Suitable production companies for my
               thriller.
• Some companies that would be good for our
  film would be paramount pictures, and
  Columbia. This again because they were highly
  involved in the making of Shutter Island which
  has some similar suspense and thriller
  features as our film.
