Research into Alternative Media Institutions - Lucy Johnston

BBC Films is the feature film making part of the BBC, it is firmly established as one of the major studios for British Independent film makers, also working to co-produce with other studios such as Pathé, making approximately 8 films a year. BBC Films will also work with UK and international film distributors in order to achieve aims to make the British film industry strong with a broad range of films on offer, such as 2010s Tamara Drew and 2009s Tormented. Both of these films are very different, but are both successful. BBC Films are committed in finding new talented film makers collaborating with some of the best writers and directors in the industry.

Other media institutions could include Film4 Productions. a company owned by Channel 4, prides itself on working with original talent and also helping up and coming artists to make and distribute their films either on the Film4 channel or for full cinema release. anyone can get in touch through their website. Films such as This Is England, 2006, gave much critical acclaim to Film4, and it's director Shane Meadows, who has also collaborated with Film4 on other projects, such as Once Upon a Time in the Midlands, 2002.

As our film is lo budget, either of these companies would be ideal for distributing our film.
