Research into Distributor for Thriller

Left Film Distribution

About- Left Film Distribution is releasing exciting independent genre movies for UK film fans. We are dynamic forward-looking film distributors, who are passionate about films and film-making.  We work on UK film distribution of new independent movies - in cinemas, on DVD, and download. Many of our films are in the horror, sci-fi, action and comedy genres, and offer exciting new work from the new generation of film-makers. We also offer a fresh approach to independent film distribution, with audience engagement and social media marketing. We are boutique UK film distributors who care passionately about our films.

We feel that Left Film Distribution would be fantastic choice for our film as they have plenty of experience in distributing independent movies on many different platforms such as cinemas, DVD and online. This can only aid our distribution process as not only would they target specific audiences, but they would also be able to actually convince the audience that they need to see our film. They use many modern techniques to get the idea of our film across to the viewer. An example of this is social media. This is becoming a more and more prominent part of film marketing and advertising as more people everyday are finding out about new releases through their social media accounts. Left Film Distribution would be able to take advantage of this as they have experience dealing with similar situations in the past. They have also distributed many films of a similar genre to ours in the past which will further help the adversing process and help to spread the word on our new short film. This would an excellent choice for our distribution company.

An example of a film distributed by this company would be the Thriller/Film Noir film titled "DEAD MANS LUCK", This film got surprisingly positive reviews an example of which can be found here.

Shorts International

We bring the best short movies to our audiences in the United States, Europe and Asia whether they are in movie cinemas, watching cable / satellite television, using their iPads or online.

We believe that Shorts International would be a perfect distributor for our film as they distribute and exhibit films from all over the world to all over the world. This would be fantastic for our locally made film so this is something that we could potentially take advantage of very well. You can also view their films on my different devices which would come in very handy when people are attempting to view our film. The fact that the company specialises in short film distribution rather than general feature length films is a big bonus for us as it means that they know the audience perfectly as this is what they deal with on a daily business and they will therefore be able to make our film better as a result of this.

A short distributed by Shorts International would be 'The Phone Call', this film has won an Oscar award according to the shorts international website.
