Task 3 - What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?



I think it is possible that "Lionsgate" institution could distribute our film as it is gore and horror which is similar to other films Lionsgate have distributed such as Saw which has been very succesful as there are many sequels now and it is very well known. Saw is a 2004 horror film directed by James Wan. The film's story revolves around two men who are kidnapped and chained in a dilapidated industrial bathroom. They are given instructions on how to escape by following the "rules" of their "game". Lionsgate is the most commercially successful independent film and television distribution company in North America. It is a canadian entertainment company. It's history of films they have distributed include "The Grudge" which is again a classic horror film with a girl who goes around killing everyone in her house in 2003 and also "Hostel" which is a 2005 horror film written, produced and directed by Eli Roth, the plot is some guys who check into a hostel and end up being tortured and killed. All these films have gore in which makes it similar to ours which is why it would make sense for Lionsgate to distribute our film as it falls under the same category of film to others which have been successful.
