What institution would make your film?

•   Fox Searchlight would want to make my film because it specialises in independent and British films and is variously involved with the production and/or distribution of these films.  We would choose them because we feel our film would appeal to a global audience. 
• Films that've been made similar are:  'Street Kings' and 'never die alone' - both action thrillers.  Street Kings was also released as a game, which could be a distributing factor used for my film also.
• Fox Searchlight is a company, which distributes many low budget films, such as Juno and Slumdog Millionaire that have become very successful in the box office.  Therefore, the company does fit in the egos of the institution as my film is a low budget film. 

• I believe Fox Searchlight wouldn't release my film to cinemas as there is too much competition with big-budget Hollywood action thrillers. Currently 9 out of 10 films at the cinema are owned by multi-national conglomerates. However as Fox Searchlight has the backing of its parent company 20th Century fox and Newscorp it would enable opportunity for my film to gain a wider distribution into more countries than just the UK. Fox searchlight are part of the horizontally and vertically integrtaed conglomerate and therefore our film would have the benefit of their distribution. This means that rather than rely on selling our film for distribution in other countries Fox seachlight have their own measures ion place to make our film a success or at least guaranteeing some return on their investment. Therefore eeven if our film failed to make the box office in Britain and the USA which is likely there would be a market for  it on DVDs and on BluRay.  They would also make money out of my film by the word-of-mouth buzz, similar to films, such as 'Napoleon Dynamite'.  Fox Searchlight  may still promote our film at films festivals, like 'Napoleon Dynamite' in the Sundance Film Festival.   But this would be to gain publicity and popularity.  Fox searchlight have proved that they are willing to take a risk on relatively unknown directors such as Ivan Reitmann who's first film was Thank you for smoking. Fox Searchlight has its own marketing and distribution operations and International distributions are controlled by Twentieth Century Fox that helped make this film a word of mouth success and although it was a relative slow burner and wasn't a global rel;ease at the cinema it's dvd sales enabled it to be a success on dvd and blu-ray sales.  
• The company produces small specialised films in genres, such as comedy, drama and horror.  
• I believe my film shows real emotion, like many Fox Searchlight films and attracts to American audiences.
