I have researched into different production and distribution companies in order to choose the most suitable to produce and distribute my film.
I have decided to use Vertigo Productions as the production company for my film as they seemed the most appropriate due to their experience and they are well established in the film market to ensure recognition for my film.

On the right hand side is a link to my Foundation Portfolio where you can see my skills development throughout the course, as I adopted new techniques and abilities.
