Task 5

Film4

There films range from award winning hits like Ex-Machina and 12 years a slave to low budget Indies like Richard Ayoade's The Double and '71 and then all the way back to cult classics like Trainspotting.

Film4 have definitely got the best of all the worlds, being a part of the biggest hits and the most creative indies. Back anything if they like it.

Summit

Summit is a subsidiary company of Lionsgate, one of the underlings to the Big Six. They are from the US so most films they back are blockbusters, most likely backing them through Lionsgate. Examples of this are The Divergent Series which are making millions in the cinema but they also back lower budget films but normally they have big names in them so are guaranteed big profits like 50/50 which had Joseph Gordon Levitt and Seth Rogan in it and only an $8 million budget.
