Reasons To Consider Film 4


‘Film4.0 is a talent and idea driven hub within Film4 that works with established and emerging talent, supporting them to tell unique stories and connect with audiences in new ways.’ Quote from http://www.film4.com/film4-productions/film4-0

Film4.0 launched in 2011 with the objective to fund and support up and coming directors, producers and actors who have a passion for film. Not only this but Film 4 is a British company meaning all involvement within distribution and production would stay in the this country which supports the British Film Industry.

Examples of Films produced by Film 4 within 2013 slate are 'Under The Skin' By British director Jonathan Glazer ('Sexy Beast' and 'Birth') and 'The Double' by British Director 
Richard Ayoade (Submarine).

'Under the Skin' is a Film4 and BFI presentation, in association with Silver Reel, Creative Scotland and FilmNation Entertainment which was critically acclaimed at the Venice, Toronto and London film festivals and '
The Double' is a Film4 & BFI presentation of an Alcove production which received its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival in 2013.

I would consider allowing Film 4 to produce 'When We Wake' because 'Under The Skin' and 'The Double' are examples of successful thriller films Film 4 have produced and distributing soon.
