The role of the Film distributor in the Uk Film Industry

“A film distributor is a company or individual responsible for the marketing of a film. The distributor may set the release date of a film and the method by which a film is to be exhibited or made available for viewing: for example, directly to the public either theatrically or for home viewing (DVD, video-on-demand, download, television programs through broadcast syndication etc.). A distributor may do this directly, if the distributor owns the theaters or film distribution networks, or through theatrical exhibitors and other sub-distributors. A limited distributor may deal only with particular products, such as DVDs or Blu-ray, or may act in a particular country or market.”

The Process of Film Distribution.

Our Film Distribution

Our Opening sequence if fully made would fall under the category of Independent British Film and because it is independent, the distributor would therefore be part of a small distributing company. Such as Cipher films which made the film Kidulthood. Although the company has grown year on year and would be classed as a well established company. However it does make similar films under the same genre as ours and overall it’s a strong brand company to go through if we were to make our film.
