What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?
The production company of a film generally only take the film up to the distribution stage, where synergy and convergence with other companies can occur, because of this, those who produce the film can sometime not have full control of the distribution nor marketing of a film. Unless a big Hollywood studio, the production company will leave the expensive distributing and marketing to another company, with general input.

A lot of independent films require stakeholders, or donations from fans/business deals, to budget the distribution of the film. British films often have many stakeholders, whom believe the film will make the money and want a part of it. Along with this, if a film has been shared and hyped up, stakeholders may provide money for financing, just to get a profit.
Because our film would be a British Independent we would require a distributor whom focuses on independent films and would not require a lot of money. Personally, I would want 'Picturehouse' (A US distributor of British Independent films) or 'Working Title' (a British film distributor) as our films distributor. Both of these companies have brought great success to independent films, such as 'Picturehouse' with the film 'Starter for 10'.
