WHAT KIND OF INSTUTUTION MIGHT DISTRIBUTE YOUR MEDIA PRODUCT AND WHY?

Our film would be difficult to sell to distributors. Although we have a unique idea, pitch our film to an institution would not sound appealing to independent film distributors as the opening might not make sense to them. That is why a condensed summary of the film is what would do the trick. A wealthy intelligent man is a counter-type and has a obsession on challenging stereotypes even if it means killing strero-typical girls in order to get his point across; his ultimate goal out of this is to find someone that loves him for himself as everyone loves him when he is not himself. He finds a girl that is a potential candidate but soon realises that she is just as clever as him and has her way with men and nobody can tell her otherwise which drives him insane as he cannot get to her, another one of her fans that worships the ground she walks on tries to warn her about peculiar stuff happening around her due to the stalker. While all this happens, police is on the case slowly cornering him.
Film company Miramax is great at distributing Independent horrors such as 'Halloween The Curse Of  Michael Myers' which proved to be such a great success. Our film has that flare to it that makes it perfect for Miramax; from as big as the mise en scen to the title fonts involved. According to IMBD, Halloween was estimated to 5mill budget and made more the 7mill in the USA alone in 1 screen. We believe our movie has parallels to Halloween and can see why wont it make that much too.
We believe our film should be a limited release saying 50 prints or so and should be played at film festivals such as 'Raindance Film Festival' which helps promote independent UK films and then we will see what happens from there. To be more precise, a motion picture unit of Miramax Called Dimension films could be ideal for the distribution of the film. This is because of the parallels of our project with previous successful horrors. They would be in favour to distribute our movie because of the low budget needed to create it; So, more money can be put into marketing, consequently leading into a profitable margin. Additionally, there could be marketing spinoffs like a 'chatroom' app that could potentially lead to viral marketing.
