2) The director, Joe Stephenson raised the £110,000 through investment of rich friends and contacts.
3) Chicken had a far smaller budget than Hollywood funded British productions e.g James Bond. Chicken had a micro-budget which was used to create the film whereas a Hollywood funded British production such as James Bond would be in the millions. Chicken also wasn't released on cinema but rather was available through DVD purchases and hardly had any advertising to promote the movie.
4) The BFI uses National Lottery funds to develop and support original UK filmmakers and films, and to increase the audiences who can enjoy them.
5) Chicken failed to secure funding from the BFI due to the controversial topics that are within the movie such as incest. Also, it focuses on a British lifestyle which is difficult and harsh which could make the BFI uninterested in funding the film.
Production:
1) The film ran into things such as difficult British weather which was unpredictable and got in the way of the shooting of the film thus prolonging the shooting of the film.
2) The film had been shot over a span of 19 days.

2) Film festivals that Chicken had featured in are :

4) Chicken was released in cinemas on the 27th of June 2015.
5) The film subscription service MUBI advertisers itself as a film service for film lovers thus making it seem as though it focuses on films that don't entirely depend on action but rather things such as narrative, characters and purpose which would explain why Chicken was featured on the service as it doesn't rely on action but narrative, characters and purpose.
