What institution would make BLITZ and why?

'Blitz' is a low budget, British made film of the 'thriller' genre. After looking at many film distributors like 'Lionsgate', 'Paramount', 'Film Four' and '20th Century Fox’ I decided that ‘Vertigo’ would be the best match for our film ‘Blitz’. We are looking for a low budget distributor as it is our first film and we are not likely to be in the cinema for a long time there for the company will focus on a DVD release. A British film distributor would be ideal as our film is aimed at a niche British audience.

Vertigo Films is a UK Media company founded by Allan Niblo, James Richardson, Nick Love, Rupert Preston and Rob Morgan in 2002 to create and distribute commercially driven independent cinema. Creating such films as ‘Street Dance 3D’, ‘Monsters’ and ‘The Cove’. ‘Vertigo’ films are often in the thriller genre and are made solely of British money. ‘Blitz’ seems to fit the idea of ‘Vertigo’ films perfectly.


We are going to use all British cast and crew, British money, even our idea centers around Britain during the Second World War. This film distributor is also known for not using 'big stars' or many special effects. As our film is low budget we would not use many special efects or be able to hire big stars. ‘Vertigo’ is also known for distributing documentaries. Although ‘Blitz’ isn’t classed as a documentary there will be many facts involved in the film as it is based around a true historical event.
