What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?

1. Professional distributors would watch our film and offer to put it on the market. This would be good as it would create bigger profits and make the film more well known. If the distributor has a good reputation and name the film is more likely to be successful.

     • Go to film festivals
       • Cannes
