What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?

To tackle this question, you would first have to ask yourself what type of film is it. Well it may not seem like much due to the shortness of the clip, however I aimed for it to be more in the "art house" side of film, reasons being I want to focus more on mise en scene, but more directly the thoughts and dreams of characters instead of a clear cut story line.

So to the media institution's that might distribute my media product, well now we have established the type of film, we can see what media institutions fund produce such films.

Focus Features (formerly USA Films, Universal Focus and Good Machine) is the art house film division of NBC universal, universal pictures, and acts as both a producer and distributor for its own films and a distributor for foreign films. 

 

In the UK under the Focus Features umbrella.

• Momentum Pictures
• Entertainment Film Distributors
• Universal Picture

 Lions Gate Entertainment Corporation:As of 2007, it is the most commercially successful independent film and television distribution company in North America.

UK

• Momentum Pictures (2000–present)
• Lions Gate UK (2006–present)

Entertainment Film Distributors is a British distributor of independent films in the UK and Ireland for various production companies; it is owned by Nigel Green who started the company in 1978.

So which company is most likely to distribute my product, well all of them specialize in independent film distributing, however Lions gate is more focused around America, so that leaves us with Entertainment film distributors and Focus Features. overall I think both being good companies but just due to Focus features having more under its umbrella is bound to be more interested and available. It would also provide the opportunity if selected for DVD release under Focus Features. Also because it is based in the UK making it easily accessible and convenient for both me and the company.
