There are two main companies behind the production and distribution of my product.
One is the production company; Green Tree Productions.
Green Tree Productions is a small London based production company who help/specialize in low budget films made by un-known directors. Their clients are usually local (to London) and many films do not make it onto the big screen. However a few have been exhibited at specialist film festivals and become internet sensations. They produce a wide genre of low budget films.
Tough monkey films are a similar company to Green Tree. They are looking for the next generation of talent.
They have both their own productions and also help to raise finance for independent directors.
The distribution company, the other main institution, works in synergy with Green Tree Films and distributes the majority of their horror films.
Even though Green Tree Productions are not a specialist horror producer. They will always look to DBB Films, who are specialist horror distributors, to distribute their films of the horror genre. The relationship between these two institutions is similar to the one we see with Icon and Paramount Pictures. Paramount Pictures, a production company, produce their films for American audiences. However, they also want to distribute films to the UK and Australia. Icon and Paramount also work in synergy to create an easier path to distribution.
As this film is only a low budget production. It is unlikely that it will make it to the big screen apart from screenings at independent local cinemas, such as; The Phoenix in North Finchley and The Rio in Dalston.
It is more likely that it is put on a DVD platform or maybe onto a website for pay per view download/streaming material. However, if the film were to go global, following in the footsteps of paranormal activity, the film could be distributed through more expensive platforms, such as theatre viewings and BLU-RAY DVD.
I could see the release of this film being something similar to that of paranormal activity. It could easily build up a cult reputation through internet viewings and then suddenly, a few years after its initial release, it hits the big time and becomes one of the most gripping, tense, and scary films anyone has ever seen.
