Production and Distribution Companies

Production

A production company is responsible for the physical production of the film as well as the funding. If a company is small they may have to be forced to sell there product to a bigger studio for distribution.
Twisted Pictures is a studio that made SAW II as when as the first in the franchise. When making SAW II, the company used synergy to work alongside another small production company, Evolution Entertainment
to produce the movie. This is because it is a small and new company itself so synergy was a good option.


Distribution

Distribution companies are mainly in control of marketing, advertising and delivering films to theatres. SAW II was distributed by Lions Gate Films because the two production companies were too small to distribute it. Lions Gate Films have also contributed to other films such as American Psycho, Crash and Hostel. Scream and Creep were distributed by different companies; Scream was by Dimension Films and Creep by the UK Film Council.
