Film Distributors - By Josh Nutt

Film distributors are important to any film. They act as soon as the film is finished, or nearing finishing, and then they make sure that, through advertising, that the film is going to sell. They arrange advanced screanings to the film, and produce many other marketing techniques such as posters and trailers.

With our film, we would be looking for one of the main distributors, to distribute our film. These main distributors are...

Warner Bros. is a major film distributor, and would be able to amount global success for our film, yet usually Warner Bros. is assosciated with more children type movies, to may not be suitable for our mafia based film. Examples of films they have distributed;

• The Shining
• Batman
• Ace Ventura
• Harry Potter
• I am Legend

Paramount, owned by Sony, would be able to amount global success with our film, and they are more likely to take interest into our sort of film, they would be ideal for distributing our film as they could generate a lot of interest. Examples of films they have distributed;
