WHY?

I would choose Universal Studios/Pictures to distribute "The Aberration" because they have released a string of commercially successful thriller/mystery films such as:

Psycho (1960)

Bourne Trilogy (2002-2007

The Strangers (2008)

The Purge Duology (2013-2014)

$32,000,000

$525,374,694

$52,597,610

$136,435,915

The Purge was the talk of the timelines on Twitter during it's initial marketing stages with hashtags such as #WhatWouldYouDo and #SurviveThenNight trending.

It wasn't just Twitter that was used to market the movie, they used other social networks too such as Facebook and Tumblr. Even creating a digital "cinemosaic" poster which trended on Tumblr for quite a long period of time.

Connecting with the audience through the use of social media allowed for the audience to become more and more engaged with the movie, which is what I hope to do for my movie too.

They had also won an award at the 6th Annual Shorty Awards for "Best Use of Animated GIFs" with the digital poster that I mentioned before. 

Having Universal Studios release the movie would be a wise choice because they are a conglomerate and are therefore much more powerful in the movie industry because of all the profit they make from releasing yearly blockbusters.

January 11th 2015

I will release my movie on January 15th because January is a particularly quiet time of the year (just after Christmas season).

I also chose to release it in January because it is just a month before awards season start and because my movie is not a blockbuster and is more of a psychological thriller that actually requires thinking to understand the plot/concept, I hope to win awards which will also act as a form of marketing for the movie.
