Studio Production

From our film we want a combination of an american and english film studios and production companies- to provide our film with and anglo- american feel. We have decided this because we believe our film does not suit the British Independent Arthouse bracket. This is mainly due to the budgeting of these films such as 'Skeletons', 'Shifty' and 'Disappearance of alice creed' do not provide the aesthetics of what we want our film to look like.

With an anglo-american production there be a significant amount of money pumped into our project, this will give it a stylish and high class feel and look to our film. Our audience will be broader as we can have a small american marketing project along side a European release. This will help of Psychological thriller to be successful and to hopefully receive international acclaim. W want the high aesthetic nature that an anglo-american production provides an example of this is 'American Werewolf in London', a classic example of British and American

talent combining. The film used a half and half combination of studio's; Polygram, Hearst Entertainment and the Guber-Peters company. This film had a good budget and made a nice profit in the US and the UK.

An American Werewolf in London

Another film that we are influenced by in its production and distribution is 'Big Nothing', Simon Pegg and David Schimmer both directed this- a fantastic example of successful of an English and American collaboration. They produced a great comedy-thriller that got noticed all over Europe and America with the studio 'Pathe', as a result was incredibly popular and well received and both nations. Whilst being set in Oregan still had a british vibe, so this proves that a combination can still stay true to both English people and Americans.

A film that really inspires our film is '28 days later' a cult Thriller-Horror set in a dystopian England. The film is pretty much entirely British from the locations to actors, but the film couldn't have been made with out the input of an American distributor. 20th century fox combined with Fox searchlight pictures to create this outstanding film and the British film council and DNA joined studios. Thanks to the help of the collaboration '28 days later' managed to pick up 'Best Horror Film' in the US,UK and Europe- not to mention a vast array of other awards. This is what we hope our film to achieve if released. With the backing of anglo-american money, the film managed to pull off great effects, actor and locations we would want this to be true of our film as well. The film production crew then managed to make '28 weeks later' and even a possible '28 months later'.
