8. We chose…
We chose Universal Pictures because:
•They have dealt with teen rom-com films like ours before with
similar target audiences
•And they have also dealt with films with a target audience of
males/females 16-24
•But mostly because our potential global audience can be
reached because of their ability to distribute globally (Universal
International)
