Evaluation Question 3

What is an Independent Film Distributor?
Is an independent film distributor is normally completed outside major film studios such as Paramount and 20th century fox, the movie produced are normally of a lower budget compared to a his that end movie. Also the technology and quality of the end product is different to something distributed by Paramount. There's also a limit on the release, so only a few theatres will show this movie for a shorterwould use od.

Difference?
The main difference is that they are completed outside of major film studios- so they wouldn't be as popular, also they are lower budget movies as they are not forecasted to make a big profit compared to other film distributors. They are recognised at film festivals to present their film before release this something major film studios don't do. Major film distributors distribute their movies internationally, where as independent film distributors only distribute their movie sometime nationally and only in limited theatres.
Vertigo
Is a UK based film and distribution company that was founded in 2002 by Allan Niblo and James Richardson. Their mission is to create and distribute commercially driven movies. They distributed the box office smash hit Street dance 3D. Also created and distributed spring breakers which James Franco starred in as a main actor. They have produced 25 films and distributed a further 35 films. Tom Hardy, Rupert Wyatt and Ben Gregor are some of the rising new talent from Vertigo Films.

Entertainment One



Entertainment One distributes films in the UK, Canada, USA, Spain, New Zealand and Australia. They are the leading independent Film Distributors around at the moment as they distribute internationally. They have distributed many movies through DVD and downloading, also home entertainment TV programmes. The main movie distributed by they is 'Twilight' and another more recent one is 'How I Live Now'.
If we were to distribute our film, I would use independent film distributors because it would be a low budget movie because it was our first film. I think it would be successful, considering the feedback we got; "unique selling point is that no one has used the myth bloody Mary in the recent horror movies and has the potential of being really successful.
