R+P Post 3: Our production and distribution institutions

Production Houses:
As our film is an Indie we decided to follow the independent model of ownership of having multiple production houses collaborating to create the film.

• Triggertoa Films:
• This will be handling the production and more creative aspects of the film. Triggertoa films is of our own creation and is a combination of our names. Many Indie directors have their own production companies which allows them to still have some semblance of control over the film after they have sold off the rights.

• Film4:
• Film4 is responsible for the financing and management of our film. Film4 is known for being a key player in the financing of independent films such as Trollhunter (2010).

• BFI:
• Also responsible for financing our film through the national lottery fund. The BFI is known for funding British Indie Films that can pass the British cultural test. As our film is set in the UK with British actors, British directors and British themes and situations we are sure it would pass the cultural test.

Distributor:

• Universal Studios/ Focus Features:
• For our distributor we chose Universal as it is a major Hollywood studio that is well known for investing in Independent films such as American Honey (2016). Universal would also be able to distribute our film worldwide. Focus Features is a subsidiary of Universal that focuses more on the distribution of independent films.
