Distributor Prep


I am sorry that I have not watched the clip I could not find it however I have researched what distributors do which is to identify and deliver the largest possible audience for every film, I found this on the step by step guide on the Film Distributors Association.

I have picked 20th Century Fox as my distributor

The History 
20th Century Fox Film Corporation also spelt Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporation, formerly (1935–85) Twentieth Century–Fox Film Corporation, major American motion-picture studio, formed in 1935 by the merger of Twentieth Century Pictures and the Fox Film Corporation. The latter company was founded in 1915 by William Fox, a New York City exhibitor who had begun distributing films in 1904 and producing them in 1913. In 1915 Fox moved his studio to Los Angeles and named it the Fox Film Corporation. In 1927 the company secured the patents to a German sound-on-film process, and later that year it introduced the first sound newsreel, Fox-Movietone News. But after having borrowed heavily to finance these moves on the eve of the Great Depression, Fox lost control of his company in 1930. The company then foundered until its merger with Twentieth Century Pictures. The latter company was founded by Joseph Schenck and Darryl F. Zanuck in 1933 after Zanuck had quit as head of a production at the Warner Brothers studio. The two companies merged in 1935 to form Twentieth Century–Fox.

A list of Thriller films by 20th Century Fox Films
  1. Kingsman the SecrectService 
  2. The Revenant
  3.  Dawn of the Planet of the Apes
  4.  Morgan
  5. Maze Runner 
  6. Prometheus
The reason I chose 20th Century Fox Films 
I chose 20th Century Fox Films because it already has lots of high grossing thriller movies some of which I have listed above. Also, I think that our film would fit in here as it has already distributed indie films like Slumdog Millionaire.

  1. I would pick Verve to distriibute your independent, small budget film as they specialise in that sort of product.
    See what you can find out about them online, such as naming three indie films that they’ve handled. Open this LINK and quote their mission statement.
