Warp Films

Warp films objectives are to bring the real world to our eyes. They do not patronize the audience and they deliver the cold hard facts of society. Warp Films have on many occasions produced films which deliver these ideals, for example "This is England" makes no attempts to glamorize life in Britain during the 1980's and the short film Rubber Johnny was originally banned due to its affiliation with drug use and other controversial  themes.

The company was set up in 1999 as the sister company to Warp Records (a record label set up 1989) with funding from NESTA Warp films came about and began their barrage of social realism titles.

the company employ no more than 14 members of staff showing how small and yet powerful they are.

the budget of the films tends to be under £1,000,000 which means that the genres that they can work with tend to be ones which don't need special effects (i.e. social realism and comedies.)Because of their blunt nature they generally have a high certification (usually 18's with a few 15's.)
