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

(as i have lost my voice i will not be posting a voice over, instead i will just type it up)

Production company's are effectively the body's responsible for finding the funding, scriptwriters, cast and resources, although some directors prefer to find and try out cast for themselves, e.g for the first Evil Dead, almost the entire cast was made up of friends of Raimi.

A possible distributor would have to an independent one, one that is willing to take a risk and distribute films that may or may not sell, a possible distributor would be Film4 Productions, due to there record of realising independent British films, many of witch had box office success.

The funding would probably take a smilier path as with the original Evil Dead (starting to see a pattern?) with it mainly coming from friends, family and the odd independent source willing to take a risk.

Josh and Mark appear first as they were the first people seen in the film, i list myself solely as the director as, there is no way in hell i would be able to any sort of funding together for a film. Sam Raimi and Bruce Campbell are listed as producers as i am a huge fan of the Evil Dead trilogy (as i tried, and failed, to base my film on the first Evil Dead).

Odds are if the film would be realised, it would come out in a smiler fashion to the first Evil Dead (seriously, if you cant see the pattern by now then there is no hope for you), limited distribution in Europe, and then if its a success, it may get distributed in America, with a very harsh rating, as the larger film studios can put pressure on classification boards to give a film a more "generous" rating, and small films don't get that luxury.
