Research into possible distributor of our film

After researching a number of different film companies we decided that we wanted an independent UK based one that has released popular but films that didn't require too much money to make. We believe Warp films would be a good distributor of our film because they have a base near Barnsley in Sheffield, and they have a good knowledge of the UK market and what is popular. Warp films has released popular and typically British films like Four Lions, Submarine and This Is England. This Is England won three BAFTAs including best british film.


Warp films is a independent UK film production company which has bases in Sheffield and London. It was founded by Rob Mitchell and Steve Beckett and was initially granted financial support from NESTA who gave them a remit to produce several short films.




Warp films have produced the film Submarine which features the protagonist Oliver Tate and follows his life at home and school as he tries to get and maintain his relationship with Jordana. This film, despite not being of the horror genre, does feature a teenage protagonist similar to our main character Chris. Many of Warps films have been typically British films that aren't Americanised which is exactly what we want our film to be. We also believe our target audience will be from the age of 15 above which is the audience Warp Films distributes its films to.
