Our film may secure a distribution deal with Vertigo Film, with
the company’s mission being to distribute commercially driven independent cinema.
A successful example of guerrilla film making in which has already been distributed by Vertigo Film is Monsters (Edwards, 2010).
Monsters was a huge hit at box office, having a budget of just $500,000 and receiving a total of $4,242,978.
Who might your film secure a distribution deal with?
Would you consider your work to be in the style of independent film?
Niche audiences of independent film would be targeted
primarily.
Viral marketing campaigns, leading to word of mouth via social media on websites such as Kick-starter. Links and short video clips could be shared between friends.
The film could be promoted at small scale film festivals.
Seeking lottery funding
What might be their strategy in connecting your film to an audience?
Mainly in small cinemas such as Curzon, as they are a
chain of multiplex cinemas based in the UK which could distribute the film on a large scale. They also have a video on demand service, Curzon Home Cinema.
Web 2.0 would be a suitable platform for exhibiting the film. Easy for consumers to access, possibly cheaper to watch on the internet then paying to watch the film in a cinema.
Where might your distributor choose to try and exhibit your film?
