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

Due to the nature of our product not possessing a large amount of special effects, and a feature length version of our film would probably be produced with a small budget, it would probably not belong in the mainstream. therefore, a smaller institution, independent would be more likely to distribute our product. For example, a production company such as Orion Pictures, which has distrubuted products such as "The Silence of the Lambs", which shares some similarities with our project. However, our product posesses similarities to other films which have been distrusted by larger organisations, such as "Se7en", which was distributed by New Line Cinema.

Another means of distribution could be found by studying local independent movies. For example, the Devon film "Zomblies" was distributed through local venues via the creators themselves, and later distrubuted over the Internet.

To conclude, it is more likely that our product would be distributed by a smaller institution, or even be self published. However, several mainstream movies also exist which share similar themes, so it would be important not to rule out a larger institution publishing the product for a larger audience.
