What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?

I would like my media product to be distributed by Revolver Entertainment. Revolver Entertainment is a marketing-lead, all rights film distribution company. It was founded in 1997; the reason why I like this distribution company is for the reason that it operates in London mainly, and also Los Angeles. My film is more unconventional, individual and self-governing, this is why I believe is would be more suited for success within the British market. Revolver Entertainment has distributed film titles in the UK such as Anuvahood, Black Death, Shank, Kidulthood, Dead Man Running, Sherlock Holmes and many more. Although films such as Kidulthood and Anuvahood are not thrillers, they are well composed films made on a small budget which appeal to the younger market which I would aim for my media product to be successful at and achieve.

If I wanted to publish my thriller I would have to consider getting funding from somewhere, a good example of this would be by the UK Film Council. They work to make non-mainstream films more widely available to cinema audiences and support the export of UK films abroad. They have a goal to make sure that the UK has a dynamic film industry fit for the digital age and to help UK audiences enjoy the best of British and world cinema. The UK Film Council fund script development, film production, short films, film export and distribution, cinemas, film education, culture and archives, festivals and audience support schemes.

The reason I would seek support from The UK Film Council as they have:

· A extensive crew base of experienced and professional technicians

· A diverse range of unique locations

· 1st class studios, post production, VFX and music facilities.

Shank is set in a decaying future London, where territory is controlled by roving gangs, who battle over control of food. While filming at the Heygate Estate in Walworth, South London during September 2009, neighbours complained about the film's violent depiction of gangs and turf wars. In February 2010, Quiet Earth wrote that they had been following the project "for some time" and noted that "The look of the film and the performances all seem solid, which is a good sign for Revolver, considering this is their first feature production." Here is the opening sequence of Shank. (See below)
