Research into institutions that distribute similar products

PolyGram distributed the UK comedy Lock,Stock and Two Smoking Barrels http://www.imdb.com/company/co0106129/

They have also distributed a lot of UK based film like 'Four Weddings and a Funeral' and 'Trainspotting' etc this may make them a viable candidate for distributing my film as it will be a UK film, and they have an obvious interest in them, regardless of genre.

PolyGram was previously owned by a Ducth music group, then was sold in 2000 to Seagram liqour company, is still based in England and still heavily involved in UK films.

My film would be better suited to Left Film Entertainment a smaller distribution company working with low budget UK films. http://www.leftfilms.com/
