What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?

Sony Pictures Classics is an art-house film division of Sony Pictures Entertainment that distributes, produces and acquires specialty films (especially doctumentaries, independant films and art films) from the United States and around the world, so including the UK. It has a history of making reasonable investments for small films, getting a decent return and not overspending and sharing money with the filmmakers honestly. It also can release some films for all other departments of Sony, (including the parent company) so my product would have the chance for a mainstream distribution if thought necessary. Sony Pictures Classics would also be a good choice, as they have released many low budget fantasy films for example the french films 'The City of Lost Children (1995) and more recently 'Angel-A' (2007) which are favourites of mine and both inspired me to make a fantasy intro. They also release Terry Gilliam's 'The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus' in 2009 which went on to gain a somewhat mainstream audience and release.
