What film company might distribute our media product and why?

What film company might distribute our media product and why?Distributions for our product/ distributor we will look forWe will look for distributors for a national and international range of releases for our media productThe film itself contains some violence and mystery and would be considered an independently produced product that fits into the genres of thriller or psychological drama.We will be open to large multi-media conglomerates but would prefer to avoid them to give our product a more independent feel to the audience while being marketed on as large a scale as possible, maybe a release in multiple continents Sony Pictures EntertainmentWe thought of using Sony picture entertainment as a potential distributor due to the many different genres it produces and distributesThe company has such film franchises as the original spider-man franchise, Men in Black but also is in charge of the resident evil franchise, these franchises span many different genres such as superheroes, sci-fi, comedy and horrorWe decided to use this company as a potential distributor as the company is a part of the massive multi-media conglomerate Sony which could aid in international distribution of our product in many different countries and cultures to appeal to target audiences worldwideAlso having a large multimedia conglomerate is more beneficial as they would be a lot more effective in marketing and advertisements creating synergy and convergence to help promote major upcoming releases to build tension for the target audiences and therefore resulting in a larger scale of viewing when released

Summit EntertainmentSummit Entertainment was previously an independent film company before being bought by Lionsgate entertainment and has genres such as fantasy and some horrorThe companies main success was the book to film adaptation of the Twilight book seriesThe company has also had some horror films such as Sorority Row and this allows us to release our product with the aid of a high distributor as well as keeping elements of an independent movieFor being a previously independent company it had a range of distribution areas such as Europe, Canada and Australia

Lionsgate Lionsgate is the largest mini media production and distribution company with notable films and franchises under its control such as the Saw and the Hunger Games franchisesThis company typically deals with fast paced franchises including the expendables, at the same time dealing with more psychological effects of Saw.This allows Lionsgate to be an ideal distributor for our product and a similar range of marketing as Summit distributing in Europe, Australia, Canada and ScandinaviaThis would allow for our product to retain some independent feel while at the same time be distributed and perhaps marketed by a large company
