Distribution

The potential distributor of our film would be Entertainment Film Distributors (EFD) which is a British distributor of independent films in the UK and Ireland. They also distribute films made by the major Hollywood studio New Line Cinema as well as other various independent production companies.

The task of choosing a distrubutor of noir films was substantially difficult because not many are produced in this modern era. However, EFD is the perfect company as it distributes a wide range of products such as the award winning Lord of the Rings Trilogy. Since 2000 the company’s releases have totalled a groundbreaking thirty-six Oscar wins and twenty BAFTAs.

The institution distrubutes films from a variety of genres which includes comedy (Run Fat Boy Run), fantasy (The Golden Compass) and thriller (Pathology).

















In 2001 they dstributed "The Man Who Wasn't There" which played a large incluence on our film opening because it is a neo-noir film. It showed us that even though the "Golden Era" of film noir has died, the market for this type of product hasn't completely disappeared.

The Departed is a crime thriller that plays homage to several noir films such as the "The Lady From Shanghai" (the famous mirror scene) and "The Third Man" (funeral scene).
