3. What kind of media institution might distribute your film and why?

Well with our film being a British horror film, I have looked at who distributed other horror films similar to ours. Obviously 28 Days Later is the best example, 28 Days Later was distributed by DNA Films. Other British horror films I have looked at are the two Descent films. Both of these were distributed by Celador Films, so maybe they maybe intrested becuase our film is very similar. Film 4 also maybe an option since they are a British film company, however I don't think they have distributed any horror films, so I don't think they would fit into our film genre. 
I also looked at Pathe Films as a potential distributor, however their genre isn't really on the horror side. They have done 127 Hours which is more of a thriller, which obviously doesnt fit into our film criteria.

Overall, I believe we would be stuck with two choices, either DNA or Celador. Both of these have had success with other British horror films. DNA had a huge hit with 28 Days later what took £52 Million at the box office. Meanwhile the Descent was also a success at the box office.

I think that our main audience will be British, so its very unlikely that an American distributer would be intrested in our film becuase the American audience wouldnt be intrested in a low budget British film.
