Question 3 of Evaluation

Our film deals with some sensitive topics, like drug use and its effects, so that means that we may be slightly limited as to who would be willing to distribute our film. Despite this there are still a fair amount of mainstream and independent distributors who may be willing to distribute our film.

For example, in terms of independent distributors, Metrodome would be a good option. This is because they distributed the film Shifty. The synopsis: “Shifty, a young crack cocaine dealer in London, sees his life quickly spiral out of control when his best friend returns home. Stalked by a customer desperate to score at all costs, and with his family about to turn their back on him for good, Shifty must out-run and out-smart a rival drug dealer, intent on setting him up for a big fall. As his long-time friend Chris confronts the dark past he left behind him, Shifty is forced to face up to the violent future he's hurtling towards” – by Anonymous on IMDB.

Our film also deals with the issue of drugs; in a different way to Shifty but nevertheless there are some similarities.

In terms of possible mainstream distributors, New Line Cinema may be a good option for our film. This is because they have released films such as “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre” and “Se7en”. Though these films are very different from ours, they aren’t something that every film distributor would jump to release. This shows that New Line Cinema would be a good match as our film is something that pushes the boundaries (slightly; only because of the drug use and psychological aspects).
