Film distributors are a company who's role is to promote your film, making it more accessible to as many people as possible. They are in charge of promotion (advertising, showing them at film festivals etc), they could also set the release date for a film.
There are a variety of distributors for film, who specialise in certain genres of types of film.
For example, New Line Cinema mostly distribute dark horror / thrillers aimed at an older audience. They distributed Se7en, Snakes on a Plane and the Final Destination films.
Because our film would most likely be an independent, low budget film a more suitable distributor would be a company like Metrodome Distributors. They would be more suitable because they are an English company and have distributed many successful independent British films such as Shifty.
