Independent film research task



Independent film distributor research.
1.       An Independent film is a professional film production resulting in a feature film that is produced mostly or completely outside of the major film studio system.
2.       Film festivals are important for independent film distributors because they can screen their films in front of an audience only at the festival to see up and coming films.
3.       Lionsgate Films, Palm Pictures
Research project on: Lionsgate
Lionsgate doesn’t specialise in any specific genre. It covers all genres from animation to thriller.
The company produced the film Saw which was a high budget and successful film.
Advantages of independent films:
Can control what they want to make
The funding comes from private investors.
Disadvantages:
Not having the backing from major companies which could reduce ShowTime.
