Over two decades, the ambitious, Sheffield-based independent production company Warp has built an enviable reputation for making edgy, compelling content, often featuring marginalised voices, and made for both the big and small screen. Titles include the award-winning feature film thriller Dead Man’s Shoes and, for Channel 4, This is England and The Virtues.

Warp has helped nurture the careers of such key talent as Stephen Graham and Jack Thorne, who have returned to work for them again and again.
