What institution would produce the film and why






Lionsgate are particularly male orientated films. For example films like saw are aimed at 15-24 year old males. This is because most people who go to the cinema are 15-24 year old males. As our film does not include massive wideshots from a helicopter and CGI effects so i think a suitible institution would be lionsgate. Lionsgate produces films that do not always go to the cinema however they do have some famous actors in their films. I looked at other flim instituions such as Paramount Pictures however this looked a little to ambitious for our film as there are alot of CGI effects which we would not need. However i also looked at some British independent film companies such as Coffee films but i thought are film needed a bit more bulk so i went with Lionsgate.

Lionsgate have made the saw series of films, which started out as low budget films on idependent production and distribution team. I belive that as we are making a relitivly low budget thriller set in england that might appeal to more of a niche audience and may only have a limited exibition in America that Lionsgate would be a suitable institution to distribute our product. They have proven themselfs capable of making quality films on a low budget which still do well at the box office and on domestic dvd sales. I feel that as our film will probably have a platform release and grow through word of mouth advertising we would complement each other. Lionsgate look for quality films with in the thriller/horror genre that are liable to make money, if not at the box office then on dvd sales and i belive our film to be a quality thriller product suitable for them to make money on.
