Our focus is on producing British films with international appeal across a range of budgets, that use elements of established cinematic genres in fresh and innovative ways that will entertain and challenge a broad range of audiences.
Our films use striking narratives – which combine contemporary resonance with deeper universal and timeless themes – first-rate screenwriting and a singular cinematic vision to attract the best actors, technicians and production and distribution partners.
Our short form work includes the Tiscali Award-winning 35mm melodrama AMELIA AND MICHAEL (2007) starring Anthony Head, the UK Film Council-completion funded A FITTING TRIBUTE (2007) and the micro-short comedy NIGHTWALKING (2008). -
