Research & Planning: Distribution Company

Pathe Distribution

I researched into film production and distribution companies, that could relate to our trailer.
Because our trailer is British our distributor should also be British. So I did some research into British Distributors and these are the ones I found:

Pathe Distribution
Related to Universal and 20th Century Fox which release films under Pathe Distributions.


Axiom Films
Known for the film 'Half Nelson' with Ryan Gosling. (Student with a drug habit)

Studio Canal
Formerly known as Optimum Releasing, Studio Canal operates in the UK, known for it'[s relationship with Anime and Studio Ghibli.


Soda Pictures
Anglo-Canadian film distributor, established in London in 2002. They combined with Thunderbird Films, and premiered this new establishment at Toronto Film Festival with their film the Riot Club.



Out of these 4 we all collectively decided to use Pathe Distributions, because of it's slight connections with Universal and 20th Century Fox. Along with their easy distribution to the UK they have connections with France since the company was originally founded there, which allows the film to be distributed across mainland Europe. Aswell as having a successful production and distribution sector, Pathe owns many cinema chains and Television networks across Europe.

This short clip will be used in our introductory credits and will be cut to about 12 seconds long:
