Our Film

• Our film production would need a major distributer as of our mainstream Action/Comedy audience.

• This means that the film would get a lot more advertising out to a lot more of the mainstream audience.

• This advertising would be on TV, YouTube and internet advertising, billboards and posters.

Our Film

• I would choose Warner Bros. as they have delivered many Action and Comedy films such as The Hangover, Lethal Weapon, Horrible Bosses and Rush Hour.

• These all have been a good success and this means that distributing with this company should mean a success for our film too.

Warner Bros.

• Warner Bros. is one of the major American film studio distributors.

• It has Distributed many films like ours which most of them succeeded very well so it should have no problem with advertising and releasing our production.

Small Budget Film Successes

• Bronson, Budget - $230,000 , Box office $2.2M • Eschewing the usual route of A to B, Bronson

has a muscular, and intense Tom Hardy directly interact with the camera/audience, attempting to give an insight into what makes him tick, rather than what he did and when.

Small Budget Film Successes

• Napoleon Dynamite, Budget - $400,00, Box office - $46.1M

• A genre-defying odd-ball comedy which defeated the odds and went massive, in the process becoming a cultural touchstone, Napoleon Dynamite remains what all good comedies should be: very funny and well-observed
