While the film's production company is responsible for raising the neccessary fnds, it also has the task of finding a suitable media institution to get the product in theatres. My chosen genre being far from mainstream I feel would be more likely to attract smaller independent film companies to handle distribution, such as Miramax Films.
Miramax Films is an indepenedent film company known for distributing foreign and indie films both accross the USA and internationally. This film company has distributed films of a similar genre to mine such as 'Adventureland', from which I took much inspiration.
Although the genre is not as conventionally defined as 'comedy' or 'action', the audiece and fan base is incredibly large. This being the case, I would consider approaching Universal or Lionsgate; two larger film companies that helped make the indie hits 'Scott Pilgrim Vs the World' and 'Whip It' the successes they were.
The Film Distributor's Association has stated that the most frequent film goers happen to be teenagers and young adults due to their enthusiasm and high consumption of today's media. My film is aimed at an audience aged 16-25, so this statistic suits my chosen genre, and would help in the pursuit of a film company or distributor, such as Carzon which, as a distributor and cinema owner, automatically ensures that my film will get shown in theatres. Plus 'Carzon Home Cinema', which allows viewers to watch films online the same day they are out in the cinemas.
