Distributer

Upon completing the research for our coursework, we were aware we would need to choose a distributer. Seeing as we want our film to be an American production, it would need to be a large American distrubter. Considering how much inspiration we have drawn from films such as 'Juno' and 'Napoleon Dynamite' for both their humour and romantic features we decided to look at their distributer. This led to Fox Searchlight Pictures who have also distributed films such as, 'Little Miss Sunshine' and 'Happy Feet'. It is apparant that this will be our distributer as we want our film to be similiar to these and experience the same amount of fame as these other films. The choice over an American distributer rather than a British one was simply founded because of the storyline. Spoof films and generally more rom-coms are American productions and because our film fitted into both of those genres it seemed more appropriate to use the conventional American distrbuter. For a British film to break into this market would more than likely require American funding anyway as these productions are not as cheap to make as would first appear. British humour differs greatly from American, and although British audiences still watch and enjoy American films, the comedy used when producing them differs altogether and as a group we desired the American comedy over the British.
