With online media streaming becoming increasingly popular and chosen over physical DVD copies or TV series, I feel that an appropriate platform for my thriller would be the Netflix subscription service, especially since a large chunk of the services 93 million subscribers are teenagers to adults, the nature of my media product would be better suited for an online streaming service.
