I will now present to you the different platforms we aim to showcase our production in. Ranging from online distrubutions such as vimeo all the way to the big screens. Follow me as I present to you these different companies and the reasons as to why we are considering them rather than any others. Enjoy.
Online Distributions:

Film Festivals:
The British Film Festival
(BFI)
The
BFI screens over 300 films from a wide range of countries around the globe. Due
to the fact that they only showcase critic worthy films having our film
showcased at the festival would tell the audience of its worth and attract potentially
different audience types which we perhaps didn’t consider aiming our film
towards. One of the goals for 2017 from the BFI is to “increase the geographic
spread of audiences viewing British independent and specialised film through
BFI interventions.” And we want to contribute to that aim as we bring in more British
audiences watching sport theme films as well as creating a platform for
international audiences to view our indie productions (through Vimeo and Dailymotion.).
The
BFI are known successes in funding wide ranges of British films and talent
which have gone on to win domestic and international awards such as: ‘Pride’
(12 nominations and awards) and ‘Dark Horse’ which won the audience award at
the Sundance film festival. We want to use the BFI to help reach our target
young audiences and also spread the awareness of British indie films expanding
globally.
Edinburgh International:
The Edinburgh International
film festival was established in 1947 and specialises in showcasing
international cinema and is world renowned for premiering films such as: an
inconvenient truth, Tsotsi and Billy Elliot. Hosting many opportunities to
discover new young filmmakers such as the ‘youth hub’ and ‘young programmers.’ Due to their creative nature and aim to help promote young filmmakers such as us we felt it was appropriate to consider Edinburgh international as a platform to display our work and get good recognition for it.

Film 4:
Film 4 are a digital british television channel which was established in 1982 and a very popular with british audiences seeking classic gritty and low budget british films as well as the more famous and more high production movies.We are going to use film 4 as we feel it is appropriate for the audience we are trying to reach and not only do they broadcast films but they create ones too. Which is really helpful as we know they would have the same mindset as us when considering how our sequence should be displayed and when.
some of their productions coming soon (as of beginning 2017)
BBC Films:
"firmly established at the forefront of British independent film-making and co-produces approximately eight films a year. Working in partnership with major international and UK distributors, BBC Films aims to make strong British films with range and ambition. We are committed to finding and developing new talent, as well as collaborating with some of the foremost writers and directors in the industry."
This is a quote from the homepage of the BBCFilms website which is what i read and decided that they were perfect for us to use. They have similar ambitions as us and it is clear that the need to publicise the growing british indie market is at the forefront for what we believe in. They are very well known for producing great urban british films for the public and using them as a platform for us would be great in also bringing in the relevant audiences and attract more people to our work.
Film Distributors:
Vertigo:
Vertigo Films are an established film and distribution company as of 2002. they publish films from a range of different genres however we feel that we could add something different by including our 'boxing themed' movie into the mix. As it is not common for there to be urban boxing films depicting relationships and the progression of female protagonists in any sort of field as we aim to do. They are well known for producing 'Streetdance 3D' which has a story of progression in some form of sport (dance) and we would also like to join that theme with our own story. they are also a great company with successes such as being nominated for an oscar for best foreign language film with 'Ajami.'. They also have an eye for developing new talent and as we are a newly established group we would really benefit from this sort of publication.
Overall what I've taken from this:
There is one word that is very common amongst these different platforms and that is 'independent' as we are a independence indie production we really aimed to find ways in which we could share our work to local and also international audiences and from researching all of these companies one thing i've learnt is that we're not the only ones with the aim to succeed on this low budget platform and there are many opportunities out there and ways for us to showcase our work and engage more people with the now 'ever-growing' british indie.
Thank you for reading this post and I hope you learnt more about different distributors you may have never knew and their sort of appeal to a group such as ours.
Goodbye~
