Mainstream film distributor or social realism distributor?
1. Mainstream distributor
  1. Film may be shown in mainstream cinemas
  2. Much more expensive
    1. My film (and most social realism films) would not have the budget for mainstream advertisement etc.
2. Social Realism Distributor
  1. Would be targeted towards the niche audience interested in the genre of social realism and therefore may be more successful
    1. May be shown in cinemas such as Cornerhouse in Manchester which shows independant films such as social realism
  2. Much cheaper
  3. The Arnolfini Centre would distribute my media product as it fits in with the niche genre of social realism and The Arnolfini Centre provides a wider range of variety and focuses more on educated film; as they provide a different sort of experience with elements such as reading rooms and when browsing through the website you can see recurrent media language which is specifically aimed at a media educated audience.
Issues and themes
1. Abuse and Neglection
  1. Artificial Eye
    1. Fish Tank
      1. Andrea Arnold
    2. Artificial eye often provides funding for social realism films and seems to be that it is the direction that they take their company in; therefore I feel my media product would be appropriate to distribute via Artificial eye.
2. Violence - single Mother.
  1. Bullet Boy
    1. Verve Pictures
      1. Verve Pictures also distributed Red Road, which has the same director as Fish Tank (Andrea Arnold)
        Verve Pictures therefore may be a possibility for the distribution of my film.
3. Prostitution
  1. London to Brighton
    1. Vertigo
Analysis
1. I have now researched into the companies which distribute social realism films
  1. I have also found the distributors which have distributed films which have similar issues and themes to mine, such as:
    1. Artificial Eye
      1. I would try to contact one of these three to distribute my film
    2. Verve Pictures
    3. Vertigo
