PLANNING: WHY I CHOSE WARP?
Warp Films is an independent film and television production company based in Sheffield & London. Warp Films was established by Warp Records founding partners Rob Mitchell and Steve Beckett.
When looking into which distributer to distribute our film, I looked into to two independent distributers because that would be the most realistic approach for my film. The companies are Warp and Vertigo. I researched what genre films each of the two companies distribute and work with. This would give me a better idea of which distributer would be best for my film.
My film opening is based on a sociopathic photographer who has unreachable standards in his work and in his personal life. This short summary conveys that my film would be a psychological thriller. Therefore, I think that Warp Films would be the best distributer for our film. Furthermore, if our film opening was a full length film I think that Warp would help it to become Critically Acclaimed and nominated for film awards (e.g BAFTA)
Warp distributes films which are usually critically acclaimed and get nominated for awards, like our film would hopefully do. An example of this is the film '71' (I saw this film when visiting the BFI). '71' got nominated for 8 British Independent Film Awards and won for Best Director. This example fits perfectly with our film as '71' has a niche audience because of the controversy and the violence. Whereas, Vertigo produces films which are for a larger and mainstream audiences, such as 'Monsters' and 'StreetDance 3D'.
Therefore, I would pick Warp Films to distribute our film for all of the reasons that I have stated.
