Cast
Distribution
Papadopoulos & Sons was distributed independently by Marcus Markou himself. Rather than focusing on the wide audience of the film, Marcus targeted the Greek community in the UK and Greece. In order to do this, he used conventional methods such as social media, predominantly Twitter and Facebook, as well as making a Youtube trailer and a poster. In addition, Marcus took to less conventional methods for example handing out fliers at Cineworld and approaching well-known figures in the Greek community like Greek orthodox Priests. He also took the film to several film festivals in order to gain maximum exposure, which lead to the film being released in Germany earlier this year.
