Which Media Institution Would Distribute My Thriller

Since my thriller is a small budget film Vertigo Films would be the ideal company to distribute my thriller becasue they specialise in similar films to mine for instance the film Pusher and Monsters, they will distribute around the country, by keeping costs lowthey wont use the thrilelr in the cinema and instead go straight to DVD, they would also use other media convergances such as they used Xbox Live to reach a global audience for the film Monsters. Mnay of the films that Vertigo Films distirbute are simialr to my thirller which helps because they specialise in thrillers which means they know how to distribute the thriller effectively while keeping costs as low as possible. Since they are also a small company they would b interested in my thriller becuase it is a small budget film which they specialise in and have experience working with. Wanrer Bros wouldnt distribute our film because it appeals to a niche market and it is also a small budget film, since Warnere Bros only work in high concept films such as The Dark Knight. Times Warner have many differant subsidories which cover both production, distribution and exhibition of a film. They also own 20th century Fox which works with smaller budget films but they are still aimed to a global audience, as my thriller is aimed to a niche audience in Britain, it may have aspects which attract a global audience but it does not have the budget to distribute globally to a large global audience. Other British film companies such as Warp Films which made This is England may also be attracted to distribute my thriller because they also distribute smaller niche audience films, but they dont specialise in thirllers like Vertigo do.

I think Vertigo films would be the perfect film company to distribute my thriller becasue they are experience in my genre of film, they specialise in smaller niche audience films and they can also distribute globally by selling the rights to the film like they did with the film Monsters which then got distributed to America by selling the rights of the film to Magnolia Films.
