| Question: |
What is the difference between a studio and a distributor? |
| Answer: |
A studio is in charge of production of a film while a distributor is responsible for releasing films to the public either theatrically or for home viewing. Oftentimes, a studio and distributor are part of the same company and are responsible for all stages of a film from development through production, post-production, distribution and home entertainment. But there are a few studios that do not have a distribution arm and use other companies for theatrical release of their films. For this reason, the number of projects may vary for the same company based on whether you choose studio or distributor. To see a company’s full development slate, you should select “studio.” |
