There are many distributors we could possibly choose for our film, however, due to our film being a short 4 minute one, there aren't many that would be suited to our needs, for example, there isn't any point using 20th century fox as our distributor, because they will distribute to a mainstream audience , which isn't the audience we are looking for, this will lead to a loss of profit. The best distributor for our film would be an independent company, this way they will get our film out to the correct places, showing it at places such as art houses and film festivals. This gets it out to our audience that we know we have, and it isn't too extreme and risky as it would be if we used a big mainstream company, as although we may only make a minimal profit, it's very unlikely we will make a loss.
Some distributors we could use are: shorts international
lux
mi-shorts
shorts international are one of the worlds biggest short film distributors , they boast a resident short film actor called Martin Freeman, famous for such films as "The Hobbit- An unexpected journey" and of course the TV series "Sherlock". They are also multi award winning, with a huge array of awards, including the prestigous oscar awards for directing , acting , and best overall short film . However high profile this company is , i believe they would be the best distributor for us , as they will ear the best profit margins , they are experienced and know how to make short films work , and due to the vast profit of this company , they maybe more inclined to take a risk on a slightly unorthodox film like ours.
