How we plan to distribute our film......

When people see our film, we want them to be in awe of the relationship between Alice and Winola. It is a relationship that audiences have never seen before, and we think that people will find it sweet and wholesome. We want our audience to connect with the characters, whether it be them seeing their current self in the characters or themselves when they were children. Our film will be full of childish wonder. Thus, we believe that we have two target audiences. Our primary target audience is children between the ages of 8-16.  Our secondary target audience are adults aged 30-50(many probably the parents of children seeing the film). Children love the mystical element that the fantasy genre is oh so famous for.  The 2010  Tim Burton Film "Alice in wonderland" did approximately 1.025 billion dollars in the box office. It was labeled as a fantasy/adventure. This film was targeted to adults and children as the fantasy drama is something that kids and their parents will enjoy. We can assume that Alice in Wonderland was a film that many kids went to with their parents. With a total lifetime gross so large, we can infer that lots of people enjoyed and watched the film. I do not think our film will come even close to that enormous number since we lack a famous and noteworthy director like Tim Burton and a budget of 200 million dollars. Yet, I think it goes to show that films like this can attract both kids, tweens, teens, and adults.

Sadly, we were not allocated 200 million dollars to make our film, or even 10,000 dollars to be matter of fact. Since our film is so low budget and we do not have many connections with high profile Hollywood individuals , we think that the best plan to distribute our film would be to first start out at film festivals. We could first show our film at local festivals such as the Florida Film Festival and then maybe show our film at some higher profile festivals. We don't know if our film will garner enough attention to make it to box office, so we think that it would be smart to release our film on Netflix. According to CNN, Netflix has 139 million paying subscribers as of January 2019. That is more than Hulu, SlingTv, and Youtube TV combined. We will also create a website for our film and social media pages so that we could create a bit of media buzz.
