Evaluation: Question Three















As our media product is an independent Art House film,
an institution that would distribute it would have most likely
already worked with independent film producers.
Although, this would depend on where our product
would be distributed to.
It’s the type of product that, if it did well at a film 
festival, it would do well theatrically. But otherwise, 
we don’t feel that it would do particularly well in 
large cinema complexes. It would probably be more 
successful if it were to be shown on a terrestrial 
television channel; most probably Channel 4 or ITV. 
In this instance, a suitable distributor would be 
Optimum Release. Optimum have previously 
released indie films that are similar in theme to 
our film opening. They could also be a good 
distributor for our film if it was released solely 
onto home entertainment platforms. 
Another distributer which may be interested in our 
film would be Wild Bunch international sales. 
Wild Bunch are well known for their international 
sales and aim to distribute a broad artistically 
diverse selection of international cinema. This 
would be convenient to us because our film is 
based on an Austrian event. Also, Wild Bunch 
are known for distributing challenging and 
controversial films to film festivals. This would 
be ideal because the subject of our film is very sensitive. 
We also considered that Pathe might be a good 
candidate to distribute our film. They have a major 
presence in the UK film industry and not only 
distribute films but also produce them. This vertical 
integration gives them an advantage. Pathe may find 
our film too controversial compared to existing films 
they have distributed. Their film credits include 
Slumdog Millionaire and 127 hours. Both of these 
films are independent which shows that Pathe are 
interested in distributing this style.
