Instituion

For the distribution of films, particularly for a British film it is good to have a British institution to distribute it. One such institution is Channel 4. Channel 4 is, primarily, a tv broadcasting company who are mostly financed through advertising. They create both original television and, at some times, orginal film content such as the Inbetweeners movies and 12 Years a Slave. This films are produced under Film4.

Another instituion who produce and distribute films is Vertigo Films. Vertigo work in film distrubition and production of British films, founded in 2002.They often distribute smaller British films like Monsters, StreetDance and Bronson. These films are not usually big films that do not always do very well at the box office, because they are often these smaller independent British films.


These first two distrubtion companies are British, however, one of the main problems for British films is the distribution, which often require
an American company, such as the Harry Potter films, which were distributed by Warner Bros.
Warner Bros. is a large American company who distribute a large range of films, such as Harry Potter, The Hobbit and The Dark Knight films. however Warner Bros. also distribute and produce TV shows as well as video games. This gives a wide range of products that can be made and linked with the films, as well as having a big name company behind my film would give it an advatage.

For my film, I think it would be best to distribute with Channel 4 as they are a trusted producer and distributer of British films and have made some well know and well liked films in the past, making it sutable for my own British film.
