Warp Films and Working Title Films

Warp Films

This company aims on bringing realism to its audience without the mainstream novelty that is used within Working title films for example.  This is what they said "we don't want to have a carbon copy, hollywoodbig blockbuster film".  This company does not simply aim to entertain but enlighten the audience to good film.  Warp Films aim to be original "an artist-led company".  They have also stated that they aim to be "cutting edge, innovative, interesting, independant".


Warp Films was set up in 1999 as a branch from Warp Records which began just over ten years before hand.  Warp Films have had funding from NESTA and they currently have a low budget maxing out at about £1,000,000.  Warp Films has only 14 employees and because of the small scale, less expensive film genres are made more, i.e comedies, social realist or horrors.  The films therefore generally have higher age group certifications. 

Working Title Films

Working Title Films was set up in 1983.  The maximum budget for the films they make is £25,000,000.  They have had funding from the Lottery and in 1999 they had funding from Universal studios (a reported 600 million dollars) and within this deal they could make films with a budget of up to 35 million dollars without permission from Universal.
