The type of film i have produced is ideally suited to being made and distributed by a small independent British film studio such as Warp Studios. Warp Film Studios is a small, well established and respected studio based in Yorkshire. Originally they started off as a record label, and so make their own film soundtracks; they then expanded to start producing such films as This is England and Donkey Punch. The films they tend to produce are low budget British films with new up and coming directors, often dealing with social realism and gritty storylines.
This is the kind of studio i see producing Hollow Point. Warp would most likely be interested in my film as it is low budget, dealing with real life events and social realism. They are experienced in producing these genres of movie and distributing them. For example, when distributing This is England in America, they realised that the film wouldn’t necessarily to American audiences as the film is about British history and culture. Warp studios decided to make the American trailer focus more on the storyline of Shaun, and his rite of passage into adulthood, whereas they stuck with the British culture and history campaign in England.
When producing small films such as Hollow Point, Warp often platform release it. Releasing it slowly in specific cinemas build’s up the hype for the film. Word of mouth advertising is powerful in selling these films as they don’t have the budget for large scale saturation campaigns. Also they focus more on selling the DvD’s as the box office sales may not guarantee a profit.
This understanding of the distribution and production of small movies would help make our product well known to the target audience and make sure our film was produced properly and professionally.
