Deciding which film institution to produce my film I’ve decided that Lionsgate should be my distributer/producer as they’re one of the best companies to produce and distribute horror films. Most of their horror movies such as ‘you’re next’ and ‘saw’ were of great success. This is perfect for my movie, as I want my movie to be distributed not only in the UK, but also worldwide. Therefore the British company such as caravan film is not suitable for my movie.
