PRODUCTION AND DISTRIBUTION COMPANIES

PRODUCTION COMPANY

Our production company is called RSY Productions

INC. It is an independent production based in

London, UK.

PROS

The producer and director have more creative

freedom and are freely able to have their own input

There’s less stress on the producer and director as

there is no budget

Little fee to pay for the location usage

Free from conglomerate companiess

Less pressure to make a blockbuster movie

CONS

Although it can be seen as a pro, having a low budget can

be a negative because you can’t afford the high-quality

camera and equipment

Lack of money will not attract big stars as you will not be

able to pay their fees

Limited on location choices

Smaller crew

Reduces access to expensive post-production

MORE ABOUT THE COMPANY

RSY Productions are the type of production

company to produce films such as Angus, Thongs

and Perfect Snogging.

We decided to go with an independent film

production company because it would give the small

stars their first big leading role without the pressure

to be perfect. It would also be a good work

experience for the smaller crew.

DISTRIBUTION COMPANY

Our distribution company is called 21st Century

Chien, which is based in California, USA, but take an

interest in distributing British films.

PROS

There is less pressure to make a lot of money from

it because there isn’t a lot of money to make up for it

(low budget)

Elaborate campaigns aren’t needed

The films become popular at film festivals and

they’re likely to get critical acclaim

Less chance of failure

CONS

Limited marketing (e.g. billboards on buses and on the street),

but because of this, they might use the internet more to market

their films

No synergous campaigns (e.g. no toys, soundtracks, clothes,

games, etc.)

Because of the limited marketing, there will be no big red carpet

premieres with lots of press, which could be a downfall for the

stars

There will be no worldwide release

MORE ABOUT THE COMPANY

21st Century Chien have done well in previous film festivals such

as 168 Film Festival, Dances With Films and Mods & Rockers

Film Festival, where SOATG has been entered for all three.

Because of the interest in British films, the films are shown in

small independent cinemas in California (some where teenagers

get a discount), New York and Florida. For the other American

states, the film is uploaded online on the company website. In the

UK, it’s shown in independent cinemas in London, Manchester,

and Belfast.
