Evaluation question 3: What kind of media institution might distribute your media project and why?

Media Institutions

Production company


We created our own production company called QUAK films, a London based company which would produce films that focus on minority social groups in Britain. Since our film has representation of the LGBTQ community and emphasises the struggles that our gay protagonist faces, QUAK films would be likely to take up the production of our film. The company would be a common example of British indie and would
therefore have a smaller budget in comparison to Hollywood films.

Criteria to be a British film

Our film would also receive funding from the BFI and Film4 productions. The BFI provide funding for production of British films that must fit the criteria to be classified a British film. Our film fits most of the criteria and so would be likely to be funded by the BFI. Film4 productions have funded similar British indie films in the past, such as Submarine, Frank and Beautiful Thing so would be reasonable to assume that they may invest in our film as well.

I have created a slideshow on the production budget for Aglet which you can view below. Use the set of arrows in the bottom right hand corner to navigate.




Distribution company


Since Film4 fund our film, they could also distribute it as they are already an established distributor of British indie films. For example, they have distributed the films Submarine and Frank. They could generate profit by selling off the rights to the film to other distribution companies. Film 4 could also broadcast the film on their TV channel.

I have included the release plan and the marketing strategy for our film which can be viewed in the slides below:
