A production company is responsible for all aspects of filmmaking from development through distribution. They raise funds, hire key crew like the director and actors, oversee production to keep to budget and schedule, and earn profits if the film is successful. The group created their own production logo featuring each member's initial to represent their collaboration. They chose Universal as the distributor as it is a major company that distributed the similar crime thriller "Inside Man." As an independent low-budget UK film, they could seek funding from public broadcasters like BBC or Film4 who have supported crime thrillers previously.
