Film4 Productions launched with the objective to fund and support up coming directors, producers and actors who have a passion for film. As well as this, Film4 is a British company, meaning all involvement within distribution and production supports the British film industry itself.
Examples of films produced by Film4 within the 2013 slate include: 'Under The Skin' by the British director Jonathan Glazer ('Birth' and 'Sexy Beast') and 'The Double' by British director Richard Ayoade who is known for 'Submarine' and his various TV series and comedic TV appearances.
'Under the Skin' is a Film4 and BFI production, in association with Silver Reel, Creative Scotland and FilmNation Entertainment and was critically acclaimed at the Venice, Toronto and London film festivals. 'The Double' is a Film4 & BFI presentation of an Alcove production which received its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival in 2013.
‘Film4.0 is a talent and idea driven hub within Film4 that works with established and emerging talent, supporting them to tell unique stories and connect with audiences in new ways.’ [2*]
We have chosen Film4 to produce 'On Pointe' as a select handful of films produced by Film4 incorporate the same qualities and traits that our film includes. We also feel that Film4 would be a good production company for 'On Pointe' as they believe in funding up-coming, new directors, actors and producers.
