What kind of media institutions might distribute your media product and why?

Universal Pictures was found in New York by Carl Buttman in 1912 however it is now located in California US and is one of the oldest American movie studios which are owned by a larger media company called NBCUniversal which is a huge institution which deals with many media companies. Universal Pictures is globally known and has produced many famous thriller films such as Psycho, Skeleton Key and The Bourne Identity. They have also produced other films such as Fast & Furious, Scott Pilgrim vs. the world and Bridesmaids. Not only have the produced blockbusters films but also famous characters such as Mickey Mouse and his friends.

I think that Universal Pictures would be an appropriate institution to produce my thriller as it has produced so well known films and many brilliant thrillers. Our piece is very slow and is a psychological film, so is very similar to Psycho which Universal distributed. Also Universal is recognised worldwide so if they were to produce our thriller it would be recognised quicker as universal are so popular. Also as they are such a big company a lot of money is usually put into each of their films this would mean our thriller would be very successful as props, costumes ect could be purchased to make our thriller as good as it could be.
