Working Title would be the kind of institition that would distribute our media product because they make low-budget films and this would be a low-budget film as we don't need expensive props, locations, special effects or actors. Working Title don't usually distribute films of the psychological thriller genre or serious horror films for example, Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz (although Hot Fuzz is more of an action film, it does contain elements of horror in it). However, because this film is suitable for the ages of 15 onwards, we think they may still distribute it as they have touched on the horror genre from Shaun of the Dead and perhaps may be thinking of trying out something different such as a serious horror film rather than a comedy horror film. However, Film4 do make serious low-budget horror films such as Alice Sweet Alice so they are the kind of institution that would distribute our media product. Alice Sweet Alice is about a 12-year-old girl who seems to be responsible for a series of brutal murders in her devoutly Catholic neighbourhood which shows that it is a pyschological horror film like ours.
The best company that we think would distribute our film is Working Title 2 as they are a subsidiary company from Working title who are owned by Universal (which distributes aswell as produces films) and cater for films with a budget of no more than 5 million dollars. However, Working Title cater for films with budgets more than this, for example the film 'Diamond Skulls'.

Also, another distributor which could distribute 'Disturbed' is Optimum Releasing. This company was bought by the French media giant Canal Plus and has a distribution deal in place with the new low-budget film company 'Warp X'. It's titles include the highly successful 'This Is England' and other low budget projects such as 'Donkey Punch', which tells the tale of a holiday in Spain which goes drastically wrong. This film distributor would be suitable for our film as it specialises in distributing low budget films, and has experience of distributing films of the thriller/drama genre, similar to 'Disturbed' i.e. 'Donkey Punch'.
