The distributers above would not realistically distribute our film, therefore i am going to look at more low budget distributers.

Eden Lake (James Watkins, 2008)

Gross:

 $5,824 (USA) (2 November 2008)

Production Co:

 Rollercoaster Films, Aramid Entertainment Fund 

Distributers:

• Atlantic Film (2009) (Sweden) (theatrical)
• Benelux Film Distributors (2009) (Netherlands) (theatrical)
• CDI Films (2009) (Argentina) (theatrical)
• Cathay-Keris Films (2009) (Singapore) (theatrical)

Donkey Punch (Oliver Blackburn, 2008)

Budget:

 $700k (estimated)

Production Co:

 EM Media, Film4, Madman Entertainment

Distributers:

• Optimum Releasing (2008) (UK) (theatrical)
• NonStop Entertainment (2008) (Sweden) (theatrical)
• European Film Partners (EFP) (2009) (Netherlands) (theatrical)
• Kanibal Films Distribution (2010) (France) (theatrical)
• Madman Entertainment (2008) (Australia) (theatrical)
• Magnet Releasing (2009) (USA) (theatrical)

To summarise, realistically i feel that optimum releasing (Studio Canal) would be the right distributors for our film because our budget is very narrow and they have distributed relatively low budget films before.
