Research into A Distributor

In class we researched a Low Budget British film "Shifty" as a case of a distributor. Shifty chose Metrodome as its distributor due to the fact that it tends to take on smaller productions and is British. 





Shifty's story plot: a young crack cocaine dealer in London, sees his life quickly spiral out of control when his best friend returns home. Stalked by a customer desperate to score at all costs, and with his family about to turn their back on him for good, Shifty must out-run and out-smart a rival drug dealer, intent on setting him up for a big fall. As his long time friend Chris, confronts the dark past he left behind him, Shifty is forced to face up to the violent future he's hurtling towards


For the Black Rose our group wants to distribute with Metrodome Group, who follow the mission statement that

We pride ourselves on our ability to provide the very best in marketing, press and sales, delivering exceptional release campaigns for quality movies that capture the imagination of audiences.

With the Black Rose we want to invite the audience to enter the world of the female character Natalie and get an insight into the uncomfortable and disturbed mindset of her. The Black Rose is also a small budget film which tends to be the type of films that Metrodome take interest in.
