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

Our distributor:

As a group we discussed who we thought our distributor should be and came to the conclusion that as our movie was low budget that it would be unlikely that a big name distributor (such as 20th Century Fox) would distribute our movie.

So we thought about independent distributors as that seemed more realistic and we decided to use Pandora.Pandora are a relatively unknown distributor who mainly distributes movies in Germany. However, they have distributed several low budget thriller movies in the UK and the USA; Donnie Darko being one of them. Donnie Darko was made on a very small budget of $4.5 million. We came to the conclusion as a group that if we had a budget to make a whole film it would probably be even less than that. There are no A-list stars in our film, all the actors are unknown. This means there is no need for huge pay-checks. We also filmed all on location meaning there was no need for green screen or studios. As our film is a low budget thriller movie Pandora should not have a problem distributing it as they have worked with similar movies before.
