PLANNING: WHY I CHOSE WARP?

When looking at which company would distribute our film, we looked at two distributors which administer independent films. The companies were Warp and Vertigo. We researched what sort of films each of the film companies produced, so we could grasp what type my film would be if it was distributed into a full-length feature film.

My film focuses on a young sociopathic photographer named SAM has exacting standards and is critical when it comes to his photography. He is engaged to a girl named JASMINE. However, when she begins to get creeped out by him, so therefore he stalks her by taking photos of her when she's out with her friends and investigates her life in order to control it and for her to be only his.

From this synopsis, my film would be deemed a psychological thriller. As well, I thought that if our film would be fully produced, it would be considered a prestige film, which means that it would be recognised by Awards organisations and get nominated for organizations which recognise independent films, such as the British Independent Film Awards.

Warp distributes films which are usually critically acclaimed and get nominated for awards, like our film would hopefully do. For example, '71 got nominated for 8 British Independent Film Awards and won for Best Director. This example fits perfectly with our film. Whereas, Vertigo produces films which are for wider audiences, such as Monsters and StreetDance 3D. Therefore, I would pick Warp to distribute our film.
