3. Our film distributor is Lionsgate they distribute horror films, family films, action films. Their films would normally have a multi million budget and maybe possibly even more with the extremely big films. Lionsgate is a big distributor. Their films are very successful and are big in the film industry. They do adverts to advertise their film trailers, their trailers are also on their website and also on youtube. They out posters up on the side of busses and on billboards. The audience they target is dependant on the genre and the kind of audience they air particularly aiming the film at.

11 films that Lionsgate distributed that are the same genre of my film.

This demostrates that our distributor is an ideal choice as they are very keen on horror movies as they have done series of them such as Saw. 

The name of our production company is 'Lost Productions'. This embodies the ethos of our company as lost productions is presented in red and white with a blooded hand. It allows the audience to understand that it is a production company which products the horror films.
