A film producer oversees and is generally involved in a film right from the beginning, it is often that they initiate the project. The producer may work with the director in choosing movie ideas as well as hiring cast and crew. A film producer makes the finished movie happen by taking care of the details behind the scenes.

Devotion
Our film would probably be distributed by Focus Features (the Universal Pictures 'arthouse' division), the reason for this being is that Focus Features already distributes similar films (as displayed above) and our film will fit in perfectly with what the distribution company aim to achieve.
We could receive funding from the UK Film Council (now the B.F.I) as our film is British and conveys British stereotypes/functions as well as as having an all British cast/producers/locations/dialogue. This means that our production will have qualified for funding and can apply to receive it.
