Possible distributor for my film

In order to make sure that I got the most out of my film I wanted to find a distributor who would showcase the film to it's highest potential. After I researched what should be considered when distributing short films I set out to find one who met the criteria specified. I looked online through search engines such as Google and Bing to see what it had to offer. I wanted a UK film distributor as they would be easier to organise meetings with and I also think they would have more understanding of the film I had created. By it also being in the UK there is lower cost as well which means I could have a smaller budget. It would be cheaper as there would be no travel expense. Another thing is that I wanted my film distributor to be independent as this again would be cheaper as it is not part of the "Big Six" film companies.

I found a film distributor called Candella Films. This originally was only in the UK but as they became more successful and well exposed they branched out globally to offer new films the best success rate they could. They have clients and festival collaborators in cities throughout the UK including London and Manchester. By having two different festival contacts in the UK they can reach a wider audience and make the film more exposed which could then be spread by it's audience through word of mouth.

They aim to promote all British films with up to 10 independent films being distributed in a year. By them having background and understanding of independent films and distribution it makes me aware that they know what they're doing so they could offer the best service they can when distributing my film. Also, as the films they have distributed have had success so I know that they could offer the same to a film that I have made. The films are selected by professional industry representatives which means they have experience and can help when my film is being exposed and they can help suggest the right target audience. The company also offers classes to teach things such as filming, production and cinematography. As they can offer classes to teach these sort of skills it shows that they are qualified to do the job needed.

Not only do they offer distribution to independent film makers they also produce films for themselves. This shows me they have an understanding of different aspects in the film industry. By having this they know what has gone into my film and they can suggest advice professionally to improve my film. This shows they have the certificates and eligibility to do what I need them to so then I don't have to worry about the legal side of everything and the distributor would sort this our for me.

Their website offered a contact form where you can enter queries which you may have about their service and what they do. I found this a useful feature as before you travel for meetings you can see what they offer you and compare it to other possible film distributors you may consider to use.
