Warp Films

Background
When the company was first created, NESTA (National endowment for Science, Technology and the Arts) funded it to create a number of short films. These included My Wrongs, Scummy man, and Rubber Johnny.
The company has had a number of successful releases in the UK such as This is England and Four Lions.
A number of the movies created by the company have received multiple awards. This Is England also had two spin-off series'; This is England '86 and This is England '88, both created by warp films.
Structure
The company is a subsidiary company of Warp. Warp also created Warp Records, and they often contain synergy between the two companies.
Warp Films also has two subsidiary companies: Warp X and Warp Films Australia.
Warp X creates feature films and Warp Films Australia creates is simply an Australian branch of Warp Films.

Films
The films created by the company are generally quite controversial and not aimed at the mainstream audiences of blockbuster movies. The films often contain questionable or controversial topics, such as terrorism, sex and dark humour.
The films are generally set in England and/or contain british actors, which is likely to attract british audiences. The British aspects are less generic and cliché than American films set in the UK too, and are more accurate to british culture.
