Hi all,
I am a film maker and i recently completed my feature length film which is of a Dark comedy genre.
There is an unofficial teaser on Youtube
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-F17kBng9o0
Well, The question is, now i have completed the movie, I am having a hard time finding out how to contact a distributor.
I really don't wanna use a middle man. Is there a particular way to contact the distributors direct. say for an instance Lions Gate.
When i say "Any particular way" i mean, any particular format etc., Do i send a DVD screener direct to them?
I have heard that, i need to do press release for the film etc., before i contact the distributor, is that true?
I am hoping to contact distributors like
Lions Gate
Millenium
Icon
Miramax
Dimension
Also, would huge distribution companies like above get back to me if they like the film? This is because i have heard that they usually don't.
My film is a low budget feature film made with £8500 and set in Scotland.
PS: The trailer was made with raw footage with NO additional effects and colour correction.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks
