Who could distribute our media production?
The UK Film Council
This institution has backed more than 900
films of whom include feature and short films
Their goal being to
make the UK a global
centre for films in the
competitive industry
Funded by the
lottery, they are also
in partnership with
the BFI (British Film
Institution)
Vertigo Films
A UK media company
which creates and
distributes commercially
driven independent cinema.
They pay close
attention to
budgets, to
ensure the films
will be effective
and audiences
will watch it.
Conclusion
A combination of both the UK film council and Vertigo Films
This could be the bassi of how our film could be produced, independently, and effectively with a
small budget. The budget provided by the UKF, and driven and used effectively by Vertigo Films,
both British based.
Large distribution companies such as
Columbia Pictures and Warner Bros etc
would not back, fund or produce such a
small scale production.
