**THOROUGH DESCRIPTION**
OF THEIR MEDIA HABITS: **Even**
though just about everyone is online nowadays, it’s still not the most
effective way to reach a more mature audience. Many adults still enjoy the
luxury of action going to a theater to see a film or acting purchasing a hard
copy book to read at a bookstore. Even the younger generation can tend to this
with their netflix and online streaming habits, as the film, tv show, and even
the book can all be made available online as well.

**MEDIUM:** Television Movie

**WHY IT WORKS IN THIS MEDIUM:**

Making this film
a Television Movie isn’t the best in regards to financial gain, however, it
gives a sense of rarity to the film. It’d be marketed as a television special
that would be big for expanding the world of Lost Angels.

**PLATFORM:**

Television
release, Netflix release down the road

**WHY IT WORKS IN THIS PLATFORM:**

A limited release feeds the audience just enough to the
point where they are begging for more. However, once more stories are released
on more platforms *0 Minutes to Midnight* could
go on to digital distribution to add to the overall collection and story world.
