Warp Films and Warp X

 Warp Films/Warp X are based in Sheffield but have offices in London and Nottingham also. WARP records are their parent company.

They receive funding from UKFC and Film 4. Warp X produce films digitally using digital cameras as it is cheaper in this form. Warp Films use the conventional style of camera but prefer 16mm lenses compared to the usual 35mm, which although is more expensive, provides a higher quality of film. However, both sides save money as they edit using Final Cut on a mac which provides a cheaper form of film editing.

Warp X were given a specific one off payment which is distributed to the projects they select. They fund these projects to receive a return to fund onto future projects.

Warp films are given continued grants to fund specific projects. Examples of these projects are:

• Dead Man's Shoes
• This is England

Dead Man's shoes was made for £50,000 although had help from Warp X to make it a digital project.

This is England got funding from Warp a well as Film, UKFC, EM media and Screen Yorkshire. They receive a combined total of £1.5 million worth of funding.
