Parallel Film Institution
Film 4
Film 4 is a British, film institution company that is owned and operated by Chanel Four Television Corporation and it has screened many films. It has distributed many successful films such as Casino Royal, Slumdog Millionaire, Shaun of the Dead and most importantly The Double. Film 4 has a Niche, mature audience which we intend to aim our movie at.
The main reason we decided to use Film 4 as our distributor is because we modeled our film around The Double which was distributed by Film 4. So this means they have experience in a similar film to ours which helps with things like advertising to our target market. Furthermore, Film 4 is a very successful film company, so they will be able to advertise our film on a very large scale. Film 4 also tend to distribute a lot of films that is aimed at a more mature audience like Pulp Fiction, Fight Club and Donnie Darko.
New Line Cinema
Founded: 1967
New Line produced the Oscar Award-winning The Lord of the Rings film trilogy. Some other of its most popular films include The Mask, the Austin Powers titles, Hairspray, Rush Hour, Elf, Sex and the City and Wedding Crashers. Since 2008 (when it became a unit of warner bros)the company has seen the most successful period in its history.
Like Film 4, New Line Cinema likes to aim its films at more of a sophisticated audience. This is one of the reasons we want New Line Cinema to help to produce and distribute our film. It can help us greatly in advertising to the right audience. Also because of its success it will help us advertise on a large scale.
