I believe that the company most likely to produce and distribute our media product would be FILM4. I have come to this conclusion for a plethora of reasons. Firstly, FILM4 is known for its support of purely British films, with examples including The Iron Lady and Four Lions. As our film is set and funded in Britain, with our actors and being of British origin, it will fit among other titles produced and distributed by this company.
FILM4 doesn't produce and distribute films that are known for their huge budget, more those that are averagely priced. Although our film does require some use of special effects, these are quite minimal and simplistic. Instead we are mostly reliant on the use of talented make-up artists and prosthetics to create realistic looking gore and effects. Our film is more reliant on clever editing, filming and a good narrative than it is on cinematic use of computer effects to produce spectacle. This will keep the budget relatively low, which will suit such a company.
FILM4 has also produced titles that our similar in genre to ours, the most notable being 'Shaun Of The Dead'. This film is a 'Zom Com' which, quite simply, is a comedy based around the zombie genre. Although our film is not based on humour, being more a straight up zombie film, it obviously still has a lot of the same themes, visuals, mise en scene, and plot. This film being associated with FILM4 makes me more confident that they would want to produce and distribute our media product. After the undeniable success that 'Shaun Of The Dead' has seen, I'm sure FILM4 would want to distribute a similar product in the hope that it would also receive ravish reviews.
