possible distributors

As our film is an independent film production group we will have to find a suitable low budget film distribution company.


Metrodome distribution

Metrodome distribution is a London based film distribution company that funds low budget films in the UK. They are based in London In England. From researching into Metrodome distribution I found that they have distributed a large amount of low budget films in the past. This is why I consider them as a possible film distribution company. They also have a lot of experience in making distribution a success in films such as 'The Chaser' this film follows a male who is involved in life debts (left behind from his friends that vanished) which he is left to fix. The Male is left to find out why his friends vanished the story folds on. This has aspects of a supernatural thriller. Metrodome distribution would be a good company to use as they have great experience in this genre area whilst working with a small budget. Metrodome distribution would be a great distribution company to use for our film production as they would give us a big advantage in the independent short film market as they have great connections to other distribution companies in other countries around the world. This would then enable to expand our audience to world wide. This would then result in a higher gross which we would make from our short film production.

Independent Cinema Office distribution/ Icon film distribution

Another low budget distribution company that I found whilst researching into possible film distributors was Independent Cinema Office. This distribution company was one of my other considerations. The reason for this was that they are a local distribution company based in London UK. This is a useful aspect to having a local distribution company as it would be easy to work closely with them on future films made by our Independent film production company. Another advantage of using ICO distribution is they have worked with production companies from the area of Barnsley this film was KES. They also have links to other distribution groups around the world.

Optimum releasing studio canal



Studio Canal UK is a film distributor company working in the UK. When the company was named Optimum, the company's image was of a modern, independent new release and back catalogue distributor. Films were released under many types of film Release (Theatrical New Releases), Optimum Home Entertainment (DVD, Blu-ray Disc Releases) As optimum releasing currently distribute just over 200 films a year, this is a great level of releases for a an independent film distribution company.

However, after researching into these chosen distribution companies I found independent distributor metrodome to be more suitable for our independent production company as they have high level of success and experience in the genre of thriller which happens to be the genre of our film being a supernatural thriller.

In conclusion, my final decision was to use metrodome distribution as our distribution for our independent film. The reason for this is that they have previous experience and success of distributing supernatural thrillers with small budgets in the past. Also they are a local distribution company so it will be useful for future use as we will be able to work closely on distribution to ensure our films are successful.
