Possible Film Distributors


StudioCanal UK (formerly Optimum Releasing) is a UK and Ireland company that has released many films including foreign language films such as Anime releases. Since StudioCanal bought Optimum, the French company distribute classic British Films through Optimum releasing under 'Optimum Classic. Films such as Mothers Day and Attack the block have created great success on low budgets, this could be a possible distributor for our film because of this.

Entertainment film distributors was
founded in 1978 and has shown
massive growth since then. Highlights
forthe company have been the release of The Lord of the Ring Trilogy, with the company's releases collecting thirty eight Oscar wins. Entertainment has seen other big hits such as Hairspray, Final Destination and Sex and the City. It operates both UK and the Republic of Ireland and distributes theatrical DVD rental and retail fields as well as licensing a substantial catalogue in both Pay-Tv and Free-TV sectors. This film distributes large budget films which are aimed to be big hits, even though this company has large success it wouldn't be appropriate for distributing our very low budget film.



Momentum Pictures (also known as
Alliance Films UK), an Alliance Films company,is one of the leading independent motion picture distributors in the UK and Ireland and releases approximately 20 theatrical films a year, with several tv releases. Momentum have recently distributed popular films such as 'The Woman In Black',Add Image 'P.S, I Love You' and 'The Kings Speech'. This may be a good film distributor for our film due to focussing incredibly on the films they distribute and therefore only distributing a low amount of films each year compared to other company's which try and distribute as many as they can. However, again the films that they do distribute often have a reasonably large budget and become fairly popular.



Vertigo films is an independent UK
Media company founded in 2002 to
create and distribute commercially
driven independent cinema. 2010 was an excellent year for Vertigo Films with 'Street dance 3D' entering the U.K box office charts at No.1. In 2011 vertigo films had yet another big hit with the 3D children's feature film 'Horrid Henry' taking £6.5 M. Each year Vertigo is becoming more successful and has recently become one of the mostsuccessful UK film distributor.
