  The company wehave chosen to distribute our film  After considering many film distributors we have decided to choose Warp Films as our distributor. The reason why we have chosen Warp is because our film will target a niche target audience so therefore we didn’t need a huge conglomerate to release our film to mainstream cinemas, we needed a well known independent film company to distribute our films to many art house cinemas. One of our main reason’s why we chose Warp was because as well as Warp being one of the biggest UK film companies, they are also local as they are based in Sheffield so therefore everything will be cheaper with distributing with Warp films and people in this local area will be able to see our film. Additionally, because Warp films is local that means we can advertise our film in the local area easily as all of our cast live near Sheffield.
