If our film were to be distributed by a UK British film company it would most likely happen to be distributed by Film 4. Film 4 are a production company who are owned by Channel 4, they produce low budget films which arguable all tend to have an indepth story line which is very similar to our sequence. As a group we believe this would be an ideal distributor for our product as they have been extremely sucessfull in producing films such as: East is East aswell as working in parteniship with Slumdog Millionaire.
Slumdog Millionaire follows an extreme indepth storyline of a Mumbai teenager who has grown up in the slums of Indian and he happens to become a contestant on "who wants to be a millionaire." The storyline seems very basic but the audience are then presented with flashbacks of the teens life. A parrallel can be made to our project as both protaganists undergo a series of flashbacks and certain voices of their past. The only thing that contrasts is the type of genres. Our project is of thriller genre as opposed to Slumdog Millionaire which is mainly drama. This is why as a group we feel Film 4 would be an ideal distributor for our product as they have been sucessfull in distributing a similar storyline previously.
If our product was to be distributed worldwide we agreed as a group that Columbia Pictures would be a definate choice. Columbia Pictures is owned by Sony pictures which also own: Columbia TriStar Motion Picture Group, Destination Films, TriStar Pictures and more. However, we chose Columbia Pictures because from our knowledge they distributed The Da Vinci Code. Its sequeal Angels and Demons was distributed by Columbia Pictures owenership, Sony Pictures.
The reason why we would be so passionate about Columbia Pictures distributing our product is due to the similarities it has to The Da Vinci Code and how sucessfull that film actually was. The Da Vinci Code is an American mystery thriller as well as it being a worldwide best selling novel. It is about a murder inside the world famous art mueseum, the Louvres. Clues surrounding the murder emerge in Da Vinci paintings which evidently lead to the discovery of religious mysterys which have suprisinly been protected by a secret society for over 2000 years. The film received vast amounts of critism as it was arugable that this film could potentially shake the foundations of christianity.
A comparision can definitely be made to our product as both films contain extreme relgious aspects aswell as pyscholigcal. Both films require a very indepth analytical mind to unfold what could potentially happen later in the film. They both consist of very thorough storylines which requires the audience to pay attention to every detail. However, we have made the religious connotaions more apparent by using a chapel setting as early as the sequence as oppossed to the davinci code seen as religious aspects come later on in the film.
