I would expect that our media piece would me more compatible for distribution at a film festival or straight to television, possibly on channels such as film 4. Given that we do not have access to the funds needed to release this film into cinema as well as the fact that we have not used mainstream actors or even produced any form of advertising campaign, it is more viable to release the film on television. Channels such as film four focus’ solely on film media and provides a display area for many up and coming directors etc. A film festival would open the film to criticism and is a form of advertising in itself as many production companies scout out new films at these festivals. I believe that both these distributors would show interest in our thriller as it breaks away from the normal format of films, producing a confused and disorientated atmosphere. The issues tackled within the film, such as drug use for recreational purposes and police corruption, are subjects continuously visited by channel four, and its journalistic attempts to expose the real world shows that it is not afraid to confront these issues, instead of just ignoring their existence, hence why it would be an obvious choice i we were to complete the film and have it exhibited. other options could include possibly screening the film as part of an art exhibition. this is not a conventional method of exhibition as the film would be unlikely to produce any return as many galleries are free, however it would promote the film and make it widely available and acessable by the public.
