What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?:
Due to our low budget, our film is likely to be an independent release, and therefore it is highly likely to be available on online platforms such as Netflix or through online streaming. By placing our film on Netflix we will have limited distribution costs, and due to the annual or monthly payment plan available to our target audience, Netflix has proven highly popular and makes films cheaper to watch than at the cinema. Which means it is highly likely that our target audience will watch our film. (15-25, as Netflix is popular with this demographic) We may also be eligible to enter various youth film festivals, as the film boards running the festival will distribute our short film to a wider audience. An example of this being the NFFTY, International Film Festival.
Netflix - Online Streaming of film's and television shows.
National Youth Film Festival - One of the biggest youth film festivals in the country, providing young talent with the opportunity to share their work with a wider audience, and potentially gain funding to continue their work.
Distribution Company - Open Road Films
Open Road Films, is a distribution company that specializes in distributing similar independent action films to ours, therefore they may be eligible to distribute our media product as it would resonate with their target audience due to the genre.

Distribution Company - Momentum Pictures
Momentum Pictures may also distribute our film, as the company (though Canadian owned) primarily distributes Action films, with all of their films Independent British Films. Since our film is a British Made film to cater for a genre that has a particularly rich heritage in the UK (Due to the creation of such films as James Bond) our film would be easy to distribute to their British Audience. Whereas if the distribution company was American (Like Open Road Films) it may not be suitable as for their audience, as conventions between independent films in the US vary greatly from the UK. Therefore, our film may not be as well received. Therefore if we were to release our film with Open Road Film's, it would require a screening with and American audience, to see if it was as well interpreted.
"Momentum Pictures is a film distributor owned by Entertainment One. Prior to 2013, Momentum was a brand of Canadian distributor Alliance Films used for its releases in the United Kingdom, and was one of the leading independent distributors in the UK and Ireland."
