Evaluation Question 3



My horror film Espiridion is a low budget British film. 
Pathé UK has a major presence within the UK film industry, in production, development, international sales and distribution. Pathe is a British distribution company, which distributes low budget films like mine. Pathé UK's productions range from Aardman's "Chicken Run" to Stephen Frears' "The Queen" to Danny Boyle's" Slum dog Millionaire". The film slum dog millionaire which was a low budget film won eight Oscars and fifty-seven nominees. They have previously distributed the film 'Adulthood' which
 was also a low budget British film. Adulthood had 157 screens showing the movie in the opening weekend.
Therefore Pathe would be a good distributor for my film because i would have a large range of audience watching my film.
Pathe productions distributes films in cinemas such as cineworld, Vue and Oden. I would like my film to be distributed in cineworld because it is the second largest multiplex cinema chain in the UK. Therefore I would have a range of audience viewing my film. I also believe that Enspiridion would also be suited in the Vue cinema because it can be considered as an international film even though it is a British film. This is because even though it is set in Britain it is also set in a church which can be found in any country.


See Saw films is an independent film production company. They have distributed films such as The Kings Speech by Tom Hooper, which won 4 oscars and 98 nominees. In 2011 The King's Speech collected four Academy Awards including Best Picture and to date has won the Audience Prize at Toronto Film Festival 2010, a British Independent Film Award for Best British Film and the BAFTA awards for Best Film and Outstanding British Film. This kind of media institution would be one of the best to distribute my film because of their reputation for previous films. See-Saw Films has a first-look deal with Momentum Pictures in the UK. See-Saw also works closely with sister company Transmission Films, an Australian/New Zealand distributor. This may benefit my media product because See Saw work together with many other media institutions. SeeSaw Films has a co-development deal with Buckland Films in which Buckland Films works with See-Saw to co-finance the development of See-Saw's slate. I would also want them to distribute my film because they also target at a range of people.
