Distribution

How does a company like Metrodome 'distribute' a film? 
 Marketing: 
  • Posters
  • Trailers/adverts
  • Billboard posters
How did Metrodome find out about Shifty?
  • Film Festivals
  • Connections through then production and director team.
How did being part of the Microwave scheme help Shifty find a distributor?
  • pro script editor had connections
Where is Metrodome based?
  • Metrodome is a UK company based in the UK, although it is uses many american films.
 What difficulties did Metrodome come up against as they attempted to 'market' Shifty?
  • Low budget on the film, therefore hard to market the film.
  • The film is about drug dealing, and that message needs to be given across, without the film giving a bad message across.
