Warp X Films

Warp X is a brand new venture in the British film industry - a sustainable digital studio that is driven by creative talent and a dynamic digital business model that rewards everyone involved in the films.


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.


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.


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.
