Company

[edit]

Warp X was founded in 2005 and produces feature films.[2] It is a digital film studio that produces feature films in the UK with budgets usually between £400,000 and £800,000.[2] The studio serves as a format for new film directors to create movies for the first time on a lower budget scale with less expectation for high box office revenues on their initial feature foray.[3]

The film studio began with support from organisations including Warp Films, Film4 Productions, the UK Film Council, EM Media, Screen Yorkshire and Optimum Releasing.[4] The intent of the film studio's creation was to add energy and vitality to the film industry in Britain.[5]
