Working Title Films is a British film production company that produces both British and American films. While budgets and the divisions between the British and American film industries differ, developing talent and relationships in the British industry is important. Working Title creates lower budget films through their WT2 company and develops films over long periods to nurture talent and relationships, putting films into production based on criteria around established and new directors. They also produce "heritage films" typical of British production companies.
