2. About warp Films

Rob Mitchell & Steve Beckett.
Warp Films was initially created with financial support from
NESTA and had a remit to produce a number of short films.

England; the story of Shaun, a boy who is adopted by a local skinhead
gang after his father is killed in the Falklands war. Since its release in
early 2007 it has gained many awards including the Best Film at the
British Independent Films Awards, the Special Jury Prize at the Rome
