Question 3 Post 12.3

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

It is obvious that when producing a low budget film you will be taking many risks. One of these risks is that you will not have a 'big name' media institution to distribute your product thus you will have to market your work the best and most unique way possible. 'The Blair Witch Project' and 'Paranormal Activity' relate to our film as they both came from 'low budget' producers and distributors.

To get funding for a film, production companies would have a notoriously difficult job as funding opportunities generally come from organisations such as regional screen agencies or national film organisations, but can also come from private individuals or commercial companies.

We would have Artisan Entertainment distribute our product as it is of a similar genre and theme to 'The Blair Witch Project' which was distributed by Artisan and became a financial success. It was also a low budget film which proves Artisan Entertainment would be perfect to distrubte 'The Forest That Lives'.
