Warp Films Wins Production Company of the Year Award

Adolescence producer Warp Films was presented with the production company of the year prize at the Edinburgh TV Awards.

“This award is a real honor for the Warp Films team,” said Mark Herbert, founder and CEO. “We pride ourselves on telling stories that are bold, authentic and global with a very British perspective. Our company was built on the ethos that we are reasonable people, and our dramas have always been told with heart and integrity, with great characters at their core. We are incredibly proud to continue that legacy, working with top-tier talent and creating great British TV.”

Warp Films has been producing dramas for film and TV for over 20 years. Among the titles it has produced are Submarine, Four Lions, Tyrannosaur, This Is England, The Last Panthers and Southcliffe. Its one-shot drama Adolescence became Netflix U.K.’s second most-watched English-language series of all time. Adolescence was followed up by Reunion, a BBC-commissioned revenge thriller using both British Sign Language and spoken English.

When collecting the award, Herbert was joined on stage by Warp Films’ Emily Feller, chief creative officer; Niall Shamma, COO and CFO; Peter Balm, commercial director; Leo Martin, head of production; and Peter Carlton, senior executive producer.
