Distribution

Short film is a primary way for a director to showcase their talents and to be recognized for their techniques and visual style, therefore distribution is a major final part of short film and needs to be done correctly, after all it is pointless creating a masterpiece that nobody can view. Where to distribute the short film is the most important thing to keep in mind, as nearly all cinemas don’t exhibit short film internet would be the best option for distribution especially for Confined, there is also the option of film festivals but submitting a school project with almost no budget to some of the major ones such as Rain dance or Encounters would almost certainly be rejected and therefore pointless as well as submitting to a festival set to a specific genre which your short film does not fall in to.

The first a most obvious way to distribute Confined was by uploading to sites such as you tube and Vimeo, this way we could showcase the short to a mass audience and also send the link to friends for feedback. We are also submitting the Confined to short film competitions and festivals such as Exposures, the UK’s leading student moving image festival and SFFA. We are also hoping to upload onto BBC network and to be nominated for next years golden Obies at the Brit awards.
