Who would distribute our film

Warp Productions would make our film because they haven't filmed a political thriller although  they have done other kinds of thrillers before. They also have helped make films for first time directors. Warp Productions have made films by first time directors including Paddy Considine's 'Tyrannosaur' and  Richard Ayaode's 'Submarine'. They have also made short films (such as 'My Wrongs'). 

Warp would market and make money out of our film by doing deals with companies such as BBC and Film 4.  They cannot work entirely on their own as they don't have the budgets and therefore look to co-fund their films. The advantage of this is that if the film premiere was set on Film 4 it would make money through adverts which would help to offset costs.Warp has a deal with Optimum Release so they can distribute their films well  - another reason  we chose Warp Productions. Warp has also succeeded in getting  their films in cinemas for example  'Submarine' and 'This is England'. This shows that they can have success on limited budgets and attempt to compete in some small way with Hollywood's dominance of the film industry. Nine out of ten films distributed in English film cinemas are American. The English and European films that do make it into  the cinemas are usually shown in independent film cinemas. Warp specialise in getting films  such as 'This is England' into independent cinemas. Warp would then sell the distribution rights for our film; they would struggle to finance the film considering its complete lack of stars and actors of any repute. however because Warp have a good reputation they could sell European distribution rights in advance. This would help raise the finance for the budget and help us make it. They could also make money out of merchandise and DVD sales. We see DVD and TV as the main ways they would make money out of our film, so by creating a release window between cinema release and DVD release they can keep the public interest in the film going.
