Who Would Produce My Film?

The company I would choose to produce my film is Lionsgate.

The reason for this is because the company have produced predominantly thriller and horror films, Saw, Hostel, Buried and The Condemned being a few.

 I feel as though my film would fit in well amongst such films, as it is in the same genre. The film fits the ethos of the institution, because it is filmed on a low budget, and also because Lionsgate often produce films which have been filmed by relatively unknown directors, therefore would be likely to produce our film. To help make money from the film,  they would probably use ancillary markets, in order to sell the film abroad, which would make more money. There wouldn't be much merchandise which could help make money form the film, as it is low budget, but they could bring it out on DVD.

 If that did well, another way to make profit from the film would be to re-release it in 3D, something which they did for Saw, another marketing tool  which would make it more appealing to an international audiences, and would also help us sell rights in advance to ancillary markets, to help finance the film. The company also targets a particular audience of 15-24 year olds which would make them more likely to produce our film because these are the audience most likely to pay to watch it in the cinema, and then buy the DVD.
