Production Model

We plan to use the following production companies for our film:

•        DNA films
•        Film 4
•        Fox Searchlight Pictures

Research into what type of films the Film4 production model are looking for lead me to their website, where I found useful quotes which we could apply to our film. For example, 'Film4 is geared towards developing feature length/short films for theatrical use. Although ultimately we are looking for films that will eventually play on bot Channel4 and Film4.'..........'We look for range across our subject matter and budgets, though these will tend to be contemporary stories with British led talent'. The latter quote falls perfectly in line with what we had planned for our film to turn out like; a british led cast with up-coming talent with a fairly low-budget and also appealing to the US. They also say that they are 'looking for material with a distinctive voice to push the boundaries within film genre'. I believe that our film's aims to attempt to push a low-budget British film into success in the US with realistic ambitions assisted by an exciting narrative and all-british cast, is unique and therefore would be an ideal preposition for Film4 to pick up.KDS/JK


We chose these companies because by choosing more than one production company we will have more flexibility in our filming. Furthermore, these companies are well known and have been used for well know British films such as The History Boys, The Last King of Scotland and Atonement. Therefore they would suit our style of film since we are aiming for a classy British film which would be mainly seen in Britain however could be popular in the US as well. Fox Searchlight Pictures is an Indiewood US company and would therefore be suitable.
