I looked at a number of film distributors including Universal, Lionsgate and Paramount. However, we chose Icon film distribution as I believe it's the most suitable. Icon is one of the leading UK independent film distributors who collaborate with international filmmakers making the company very successful. Icon is known for their low budget films which have done exceptionally well and became successful. Similarly, our film is also a low budget film making it realistic for icon film distribution to be our distributor.
The reason I chose Icon film distribution compared to the other distributors I looked at was because the others were movies which do really well in the box office, mostly due to their budget for the film. Therefore, the other distributors i looked at distribute movies which are more of a higher budget and so those movies tend to be much popular as well as look very professional which our film product doesn't. Another reason for why we chose Icon is because they have distributed many movies which have been very successful for example Slumdog Millionaire. They have had a lot of experience in the last few years, including the genre of our film product which is psychological thriller. They have distributed films within this genre and similar genres for example horror. One of the successful film they had distributed is Paranormal Activity. Since our movie is low budget and of a similar genre we also expect to do well having Icon as our distributor.
