  8. Warp X Films • Warp X harnesses cutting edge digital technology and low budget production methods to make high value movies that can reach cinema audiences across the world. http://mediadepartment.king-ed.suffolk.sch.uk

  9. Warp X Films • Warp X wants to make exhilarating films with outstanding new and established creative talent. • Genre movies with an original twist and creative signature. • We passionately want to re-tox British cinema with an injection of adventure. • Toxic movies that are an antidote to the prevailing diet of blandness and repeated formulas. http://mediadepartment.king-ed.suffolk.sch.uk

  10. Warp X Films • We want our films to be fuelled by irresistible stories,  and  extraordinary, even exotic, worlds. • To challenge and entertain contemporary British and international cinema audiences. • The films have to be made digitally and on budgets between £400,000 - £800,000. • So we need movies that can be made faster, leaner, lighter - with no excess baggage. That way the films will become profitable much quicker. http://mediadepartment.king-ed.suffolk.sch.uk

Warp X Joint Objectives:As outlined by the UK Film Council and Film4 • To encourage filmmakers to explore social issues of disability, cultural/ethnic diversity and social exclusion through the content and range of individual film projects. • To create much-needed progression routes into the UK film industry for identified filmmaking talent, who may have experienced some success through their first feature film or through short filmmaking, but who need further infrastructural and other support to make their next film(s) a success. • To provide an opportunity for and to encourage established filmmaking talent to reinvest their expertise in the talent of the tomorrow, both in front of and behind the camera. http://mediadepartment.king-ed.suffolk.sch.uk
