What is Film Distribution? • Film Distribution is the process a film company goes through every time they make a movie and make it available for an audience to watch, often in the cinema, DVD and downloadable copies.
The Process… • Someone has a movie idea. • They outline the movie so they can get people like a studio interested in their idea who purchases the rights to produce the film. • A screenwriter, produce, director, cast and the crew is found to be able to make the film. • The film is sent to the studio once it has been made. • The studio sets up a license agreement with the chosen distribution company. • The distribution company decides how many copies of the film to print. • The distribution company organises a movie screening to potential audiences.
