Film Distribution Company

Considering thw scale, the film distrubution company is small. Very little people work in the UK theatrical distribution, judt 500 people, 1 % of the total film/cinema workforce. The role of the distributor's managing director is to supervise a small number of staff with specialist roles, such as:
  • Marketing & Promotions
  • Publicity & Media Relations
  • Sales
  • Technical
  • Acquisitions
  • Legal & Business Affairs
  • Finance & Accounting
  • Administration
It is believed that these departments function similarly to their demand-side counterparts in any industry, looking to work as sustainably and effeciently as possible. But handling products that are among the most thrillingly creative, emotionally charged and technologically advanced is what film distributors go through all the time. Good marketing experience for a film industry marketing position may be gained at an advertising or media planning agency, especially by working with a film or entertainment client. Being a market team member, you would habe to be bold, a creative thinker and a fast carful worker. Experience as a journalist or press officer is useful for publicity. You should be able to write succinctly and imaginatively, and remain level headed under pressure. It is also good to know knowledge of todays media, as are good professional relationships with journalists and TV producers. External agencies may be assigned to a particular project if the distributor needs specialist public relations or event management help.
