- 7. A major film company such as 20th Century Fox or Warner Bros would unlikely to be willing to distribute our film as they usually work with major high budget films productions in the romance, comedy and drama genre. As our film is an independent production we are more likely to be of interest to Warp Films as they are successful in producing and distributing independent films through links with Studio Canal (formally known as Optimum Releasing). As they are located in the UK this would also add value to our film as it keeps it independently British.
- 9. Studio Canal Studio Canal UK was formerly Optimum Releasing, before it was acquired by Studio Canal in 2006 and renamed Studio Canal UK in 2011. They are a film distribution company working in the UK and Ireland. Distributing independent films they work across the UK and sometimes Ireland and America Studio Canal distribute their large back catalogue of classic British Films through Optimum releasing's.
- 11. The Weinstein Company The Weinstein Company is a American Film studio who worked with optimum releasing to produce and distribute Submarine. They also work with the company Entertainment Film Distributors to distribute their independent productions and Momentum Pictures. Companies such as these would be likely to distribute our film as they are mainly linked with independent films.
