Research Into Possible Distributor of Our Film

Due to the fact our main inspiration for our group film is the popular horror 'The Woman in Black' produced by CBS Films, we decided that the most beneficial distributor for our own film would be the same producers. 

Considering that this company has experience in producing successful horror films- with a story line alike to our own- they would be the best company to make our film successful as they specialise in this area.


The company we have chosen to distribute our film is CBS Films; an american film distributing company which is part of the CBS Cooperation. It was founded in 2007 and releases four to six films a year. They are thought to be one of the major american film distributors which would create a spark of interest to our film from an international audience. Being represented by this company would instantly create popularity considering CBS are very successful and any fans of the previous films that this company has distributed may be inclined to watch our film as they will be expecting good things from this company. Terry Press is the president of this company.

Other successful horror films produced by this distributor are:




These films are also alike to our story line, reinforcing why we want to be represented by this company.

CBS would be able to provide us with a large budget for our film, as oppose to choosing an independent English based company such as Warp Films, for example. Creating merchandise by using cross media convergence or synergy would be accessible through CBS, (such as creating figurines of our characters to be featured in magazines, for example).
