Thrid Window films

I have began to email distribution companies in an attempt to get them to send me information about their companies. I am unsure whether or not I will receive replies, but I am hopeful.

Here is a copy of my email to Third Window Films, along with some information about the company:

My speculation about the company partly based on research:

Third Window films seem to have nailed down a very specific target market in the UK. There is a small, but very definite group of people in the UK who are fascinated by East Asian culture and films. This seems to be the target market for Third Window Films.

Third Window Films are an LTD company, which could imply that there operations are fairly minor compared with the bigger PLC's. 

How Third Window Films describes itself:

The Third Window Films brand was born in 2005 when its film-loving founders grew bored of the stream of worn-out shock horror vehicles from the Far East.

Third Window Films works hard to bring you the wonderful world beyond long-haired ghost films and mindless Hollywood action copies, sourcing the finest works in new Far Eastern cinema. We strive to represent a rich variety of film genres, be they dramas, comedies, political satires, action or anything else in between.

Let Third Window Films be your window to the East!

My email to Third Window Films:

Hi,
I’m writing from the Creative Film and Moving Image Production degree at Cleveland College of art and design. I am doing research about the role that niche distributors such as Third Window Films have on the film industry as a whole, specifically I’m curious as to the effect companies like yours have on the overall international gross revenue of the films which you distribute and whether this has an impact on the investment which production companies are willing to make in the films. I was wondering if you could help me out by sending me some information about Third Window Films.

Thank you very much for your time and help.
Best,
Glenn Wilkinson
