• 1998- creation of Film Four

Films distributed by Channel Four/ Film Four:

I like Film4 because as a vertical company from Channel 4 they still make films that fill the public need. In Four Lions as the director crowd sourced an audience Film4 produced the film to keep the audience happy. In the media project of A.BAN.DON the film will only appeal to a small audience as it is very different to usual films. Film4 produce films that are mainly about things most audiences wouldn't expect. Even through the film has some aspects of Inception we used them ideas to put a point across of drug use.
