A film distributer is a company or individual responsible for making a short film available for viewing by an audience. A professional film distributor would set the release date of when the film is available for viewing in theatres and/or online (DVD, Blu-rays etc.).
The film distributor is very important as their actions can either make a film a huge success or make it a total shamble. Film distributors control marketing an decide when, where and how a film is advertised, such as posters, billboards, on the internet, newspapers, special events (Comic-Con etc.), trailers (on the internet and in theatres) and many more. Advertising the film is very important as it makes it public knowledge and also gives the film a lot of media exposure; insuring that many people are interested and excited to go and watch it.
Many short films are shown either online, as part of a DVD extra or at speical film festivals such as Comic Con, Film Forver and British Council Film. This is done because it gives it more inviduality, uniqueness and also becuase its not long enough to be shown alone in theatres.
