Filming Institutions

Film4 is a free digital television channel available in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland, owned and operated by Channel 4. Film4 did not originally focus on broadcasting blockbusters, but nowadays broadcasts mainly mainstream Hollywood movies. The channel frequently has themed nights or seasons in which a number of films centred around one genre, director or actor are shown. As Channel 4 also owns a film production company, Film4 Productions, it shows many of its in-house productions. Film Four was founded in 1998 but later re-named to Film4 in 2006. We would like Film4 to produce our film as we want it to be a hard hitting, gritty film. British film's usually have more depth and more emotion than Hollywood films along with better written story lines and conversations, and we want this to be apparent in our film. Film4 usually casts un-known actors as their budget does not closely rival that of a Hollywood production. We want it to be a successful hard hitting production like This is England, that is inspiring and emotional, but still very entertaining. Strong hard hitting films like This is England and Slum Dog Millionaire were produced by Film4.
