Distribution:

Distribution companies play a huge role in determining how well a movie does,distribution is sometimes considered as the most important step in making and premiering a film.Distributors usually work in large groups and aim to make your movie come off as interesting and appealing as possible to your target audience to make sure the theatrical release attracts as many people as possible.Regardless of how strong and original your movie's storyline is and how good it may be,without the right distribution it could be a huge flop in the box office.
An example of a well known UK - based distribution company is "Momentum Pictures" who are responsible for movies such as "Seven Psychopaths" and "Lawless"



Production:

Production companies are responsible for producing the film. This includes scheduling, scripting, marketing and post production. A successful production company would be the BBC. They usually work within the UK. They are responsible for some successful British films such as Fish Tank, Bullet boy, The boy in the striped pajamas's and others

Probably the most well known British production company is BBC Films.In recent years they have been responsible for producing films such as "We Need to Talk About Kevin" and "Salmon Fishing in the Yemen"

I believe that BBC Films would be a suitable production company for my film as they've been known to work on a variety of different genre of films.






My Film:
For my film I plan on using a small production company and distribution team as my movie's quite low budget and small scale meaning I'm not looking to advertise it too much but try to get most of the people to see my film through word of mouth.
