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


Our media product wouldn’t appeal to such companies as Disney or Universal studies but rather a lesser known company willing to take risks with films it publishes. The media institution I think that we would show and would then distribute our media product would be Screen Gems. Screen Gems are a subsidiary company off Sony Pictures Entertainment and Columbia Tri Star Motion Pictures Group whom are the parent companies of Screen Gems. It allows for different films to be produced without the parent companies risking it on lower budget, more quirky films.

Screen Gems pride themselves as a distributor that produces and releases "films that fall between the wide-release movies traditionally developed and distributed by Columbia Pictures and those released by Sony Pictures Classics.” It also goes on to pride itself on releasing mainly Horror, Thriller and Comedy making it perfect for our hybrid genre of a Horror/Thriller.

Its previous films include Underworld, and all of the follow ups to it, Resident Evil, and again all of the sequels to the film but most importantly the film we based our thriller around, When A Stranger Calls. The film is based more around the idea of a clever killer. He plots out the movement of the victim to make sure that everything goes his way when it comes down to it. We took this in mind when we produced our media to make our killer more intellectual and more interesting on a whole. For these reasons I think Screen Gems would be interested in producing our media product.
This is a Wordle with some key words about linking in to they type of companies that would be interested in our media production.
