  4. Our film “The long game” is a mainstream film. Indeed, it targets a very wide audience (from 18 to 50 year olds). Our film company is Paramount Pictures, is a big popular industry – it distributed movies like Shutter Island (Martin Scorcese, 2010), which was one of our inspirations for our own media product.

  5. Distribution of our media product Our film would be shown in large cinema chains, multiplexes (for example, Odeon and Cineworld cinemas) and it would run for big awards and festivals (for instance, BFI London Film Festival). Because it is a mainstream thriller, it could be exported internationally (in Europe and in particular, in the United States).
