A potential media institution for distributing my media product would be Vertigo Films. This is likely to distribute our film as it is a low budget, British company which is perfect for our low budget, British film. Vertigo Films is also a good choice as it has produced many films similar to our own plot and conventions. A film similar they have produced is the 2007 horror film Shrooms. Although Shrooms is a different genre to ours it follows the basic plot of dreams. In Shrooms a character suffers a seizure and then experiences a dream-like trance while having a premonition of events that have not happened yet. This is similar to our film as the beginning of the film starts with the main character having a premonition in his dream. Vertigo Films is also a good institution for our product as we have casted Whitney Able who stares in one of Vertigo Film's latest films.
A second potential media institution that could distribute our product is Working Title Films. Like Vertigo Films, Working Title is also a British based company that is based in London. This is good as they create and circulate solely British films like our own. I also think Working Title is a good choice as they have distributed films -once again- that revolve around someone’s dream. One example of this is Paperhouse. Paperhouse is a 1988 dark fantasy film based on the novel Marianne Dreams. As the name suggests it is about a young girl who has disturbing dreams and the rest of the film focuses on these dreams while visiting the places she dreams about. This is similar to our film Premonition as it also begins with the main character having a dream and dealing with it and its meaning throughout the rest of the film. Working Title also distributed the 1996 film Fargo. During the research stage of our product we studied and analysed Fargo which inspired us, gave us ideas and helped us make a good opening sequence.
