Institutional Information

The film will be made with British money, personnel and resources, and will exhibit social realism; the most 'typically British' of all film genres as it shows our society in a 'real' way.

Therefore, we believe Film 4 would be the perfect producers and distributors for out film, as they have produced successful films such as Trainspotting and This Is England. An ideal director would be Danny Boyle, as he has been involved in many well-known productions in this genre, and also has strong connections with Film4.


As the film is medium to low budget, it would be funded by the British Film Institute (BFI), Figment Films, Stealth Films, and Cipher Films. These companies have all been involved in successful British films, each contributing smaller amount of money than big production companies such as Warner Bros. as they do not have the same spending power.

The planned release date would be in May, as it is cheaper to do and will give our film more market exposure as we will not have to compete with the big summer marquee films. It is to be shown at multiplexes and on social networking sites to gain recognition. Additionally, the trailer would be international as we believe that with the little dialogue demonstrated in the trailer, it would be able to appeal to other nations, such as Russia who has a ferocious drug culture and the public may be interested in seeing the film with subtitles.
