All well known films will most likely be under the six large media conglomerates. These large Hollywood studios dominate the film industry in the cinemas with mass audiences watching their films.
Hollywood studios have either created or bought their own independent brands, which are run seperately from the studio and most likely 'non mainstream' films. For example, 'MIRAMAX' (owned by Disney) and USA Films (owned by Universal). In the real world we would like a film to be involved within the independent companies that are owned by the large conglomerate studios, mostly because the funding and distribution would be larger-scale.
PROS-
. Non-mainstream films may recieve more attention from 'serious', 'high art critics'
. Some stars may work in the non-mainstream film because of the high art status
. Our film may be seen in independent film magazines and festivals
We are in the midst of making our promotional package for our film "Rendezvous". In reality we would like to require the help from an independent company such as Working Title Productions to produce, exhibit and distribute our film. As we would be able to show our Noir film in independent art houses and cinemas.
The funding would come from BFI, National Lottery - there will also be funding from the conglomerates- as Working Title Productions is owned by Universal who will fund our film.
