Ed Guiney and Andrew Lowe’s outfit has produced films including The Favourite and Disobedience out of the UK in the last two years, and they have a creative outpost in London. Pathé UK, meanwhile, occupies a unique position, often sourcing material that it can develop in-house before attaching a filmmaker, while also boarding later on in the process as a financier and executive producer with projects brought to it by third-party producers.Įlement Pictures was another company we strongly considered.
Sales companies such as Independent have been producing for years, while others including Protagonist, HanWay, Cornerstone, Bankside and Embankment are increasingly moving into production in order to have a better position on projects and get in on the good ones earlier.ĭistributors including Lionsgate, Altitude, Vertigo, eOne and Entertainment Film Distributors are also actively engaged in this, while Studiocanal has indicated a stronger push towards production and away from distribution with its recent activities. In the UK, as the world of independent film grows increasingly precarious, more companies are looking to board IP at the earliest stage possible, in order to participate more fully in the success at the other end. In pulling together our Brit 50 this time, we decided to keep the focus on the independent production companies, and their accompanying producers, whose primary business is developing and producing original projects, rather than also being involved in the financing, selling or distribution of them.

While we aimed to keep our criteria simple and straightforward in drawing up this list, the industry of course is anything but those things in 2018. Welcome to The Brit 50, Screen International’s survey of the independent UK-based production companies actively engaged in originating, developing and producing feature films for both local and international distribution.
