Our production company, "Monolith Productions", provides us with a personal identity to attract potential publishers. We chose 'Monolith' as it has an 'epic' and meaningful feel, which instantly portrays the group in a positive light. Its meaning of a large stone/artefact that is worshiped connotes how we want audiences to feel about or films too, but in a more effective, quick and interesting way.
We initially began with the film studio 'Lionsgate' as we felt that this company has a good reputation in the thriller genre, and has the resources as a whole for effective films. But then, through further research, we felt a more realistic choice of institution would be Film4 Productions. This is a UK production company, specialising in home-grown talent and providing a platform to reach much larger audiences.
An example case study of a Film4 production is '127 Hours', a British/American film directed by Danny Bolye, one of our inspirations. It was filmed with a comparatively low budget, appealing to our circumstances, and the very limited camera setup also appeals to the opportunities we had in our filming. Considering Film4 supported and published this production, we feel that they would be an ideal partner for our film.
We would also appeal to UK funding sources, such as the UK Film Council. This is a lottery-funded board which supports a variety of film-based projects, from big budget to small independent films. This would be an ideal place to receive backing from, and may also increase the exposure to our project, generating interest. An example of a film they have supported is 'Kidulthood', which became a huge success because of the increased budget and knowledge available, despite its 'newcomer' cast and crew.
