Our company – Bloodheart ProductionsWe created this distribution company for the purpose of distributing thriller and horror films.

We expect to frequently reach a high certificate audience, i.e. 15 and 18. We may distribute films in 12/12A to widen our audiences as an occasional exception.

Our films will preferably be distributed in multiplex cinemas because we wish to reach out to a more commercial audience. We may consider showing the films independently if our budget is low.

We believe that there are many outlets for our film to be shown such as being shown in cinemas, premiering in film festivals, going straight to DVD, being shown on planes or being released digitally for purchase.
