The distribution of film is what makes the film available for an audience. Accompanied by promotion, when the film is initially produced it will be shown to audiences in a movie theatre.
A professional film distributor would typically devise an efficient marketing strategy to get a film to be seen by the intended target audience. Knowing what dates are best to release the film. What cultures should be targeted and where the film is promoted is key. The film should be available to the public either by movie screening, television viewing, or online for personal home viewing.
Distribution Companies include:
There are many different distribution companies which would specialise in the promotion and distribution of film. Those may include, 20th Century Fox, Warner Bros, Film4 etc.
I believe the best movie distribution companies suit for our film would be ones within my region being Ireland and the UK.
What distribution company would I work with and why?
I would choose a company such Northern Ireland Screen, Northern Ireland Screen was the production company incorporated in the making of 'Cherry Bomb', which I believe is one of the best films to come from NI. This company is also growing rapidly with success due to the amount of films coming to be shot in NI. This company also funds some popular film festivals in Northern Ireland such as a Queens film festival, Cinemagic fest and Belfast film festival, working with this company could benefit our film as it could potentially be shown to an all Irish audience that I believe would enjoy it the most as they may be able to relate to the themes within the film.
