9. I would use universal to distribute my film because they
are one of the most popular film distributors for horror
slasher and this will make my film more noticeable in the
film industry and will make me more noticeable.
My target market is the horror audience of people of aged
14-40 year olds. This because they are the normal ages of
people who watch horror films.
The profit I would like to recoup is a high profit.
