Role of the DISTRIBUTOR

Production -> Distribution
                      - fast moving, strategic, competitive
                      - Hollywood Studios, Sony, Warner Bros
                      - Distributors look for films; good films for the right type of audience- film festivals
                      - They need elements that will attract the audience
                      - USP - 'the hook' of the film, unique selling point = one line to describe the movie
Genre -  what type of film the movie is, must be obvious from trailer or advertisement otherwise it is a crap movie.. Target audience usually between 15-24, family groups > core audience.

Developing a campaign appropriate for the audience. The role of the distributor is to bring films to the market place by; coming up with a good way to advertise and give the public a good insight into the genre of the film.
