Possible distributors for a Mockumentary/short nature film
Channel 4 was an initial thought, due to their previous series Pete Vs Life, which is similar to what we are hoping to create. Because they have already had a show similar to our short film they would know where to advertise and how to market it properly
BBC was a second choice as they are also known for this form of film, although they are more serious nature documentaries and not a spoof.
Another possible choice would be ShortsInternational, as they are a company specifically designed for distribution short films of all genres. They would also be ideal as they aren't tied to one country, and so could aim the marketing at the different relevant demographics in different countries
Like ShortsInternational, Microwave would be a good choice as they are experienced in distributing short films. Microwave are based in London, so they would have a more concentrated knowledge of the UK film industry and distribution, but anything larger such as Cannes Film Festival in Europe or any over-seas distribution would be less effective.
Future Shorts is also an option for distributing short films, as they have experience with a wide range of genres, including comedies and things relevant to our production. Future could be a possible good choice as they claim to be 'eager for new talent' and are looking for the latest ground-breaking, undiscovered talent, meaning they would probably be more likely to take on an unknown production such as ours.
