Possible Distributor

For our A level media project the most likely distributor which would work with us would be StudioCanal UK. StudioCanal UK (formerly Optimum Releasing) is the official branch of StudioCanal in both the United Kingdom and Ireland. The company releases many films, including foreign, Studio Ghibli, independent, art-house, British, Irish and American films in the United Kingdom and sometimes Ireland. This distributor would be ideal as on our film we have a low budget, lower production quality, unknown cast of actors so there is no pre-established fans of any of the actors which will watch the film. It also releases a lot of independent films and films with similar conventions and genres to our production, and a lot of their distributed films have non-mainstream or niche audiences like "Dead Man`s Shoes"(2004) with the budget of this film being £723,000, "Hush"(2008) with a budget of £1 million, and "71"(2014) with a budget of £8.1 million. All these films seem to have a small budget like our budget and compared to big mainstream blockbusters like "The Dark Knight Rises" which had a budget of 250 million USD and made 1.085 billion USD at the office. Other distributors we could go with could be mainstream distributors, there are a number of these but they are likely not too distribute our films because they are low budgeted, and too unknown to make any money out of. They usually distribute films with enormous budgets going into the 100 millions. So we are better off going with local small distributors like StudioCanal UK.
