Film value chain and Specialist distributors

For film distributors this process on how they release their films to the public is done in considerable easy steps. Independent distribution companies however might do it differently. But the majority of the main companies use this process below:





Example of an Independent Distributor:
An example of specialist film distributors are Arrow Films. Arrow Films specialise in World Cinema, Classic, Horror and Adult Titles. All of these specialised films are targeted at a niche market of people who have a strong love and interest for films. Specialist film distributors such as Arrow Films have an impact on the home entertainment sector, this a sector in which generates a lot of money each year in the UK. Since Arrow Films is an online company it allows many people to see what they have for offer and purchase these independent films. However since specialist distributors do not have a huge budget most of their films go to what is known as 'straight to video'. This means that instead of releasing the film at the cinema first it goes straight to DVD or VHS.
