A Level Media Coursework: What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?

Since my film is a war film based in WW2, I decided to look at films that are similar to my one. The three that I will look at in more detail are Saving Private Ryan, Band of Brothers and Saints and Soldiers. All three of these films feature US Paratroopers, which are the main characters in my film.
