Our Production Company
For our production company we created our own independent, London based, production company called QUAK films. QUAK films focus predominantly on films which portray minority social groups in a true to life and positive light, through the characters and narrative of films.
Distribution Company
To distribute our film, we have chosen to use Film4 Productions as a distribution company. Film4 Productions are known for their British indie films and were involved in the distribution of many films our group looked at, that were similar institutionally and thematically to our film, for example Beautiful Thing (1996). Film4 Productions, despite having "Productions" in their name, often have very little to do with actually producing the film and more often than not provide only funding and a release strategy for the finished movie. This would be one major advantage for us to work with Film4 Productions, as they would not be too interested in changing the artistic look or direction of the film, as long as they have a chance to get a return on their investment. Film4 Productions also offer the advantage of being owned by Channel 4. This means it is very likely that our film will feature on Channel 4 and Film4 TV programmes, which is an advantage because it will expand the viewership for our film and gain reputation for QUAK films amongst the general public, due to the mainstream nature of Channel 4.
