James Richardson.

Other People Behind the company

enterprise, managing all production and distribution

and James Richardson. He has written and directed 5
feature films for the company; The Firm, The Sweeney,

One of Love big feature films was a remake of the seventies
T.V series The Sweeney. This was one of Vertigo Film’s most
expensive productions with a budget of an estimated £3 000
000, however Niblo expressed his confidence in the film saying
‘This is one of the genres Vertigo and Love do best’ for
example gritty urban lad movies.

film company, using innovative new technologies to solve

Vertigo very much benefits from the home entertainment
market with over 50% of their revenue coming from DVD sales.

StreetDance was one of britains first 3D films and was Vertigo
film’s first 3D film. Vertigo clearly wanted to keep with the times
so decided to release the innovative 3D film in order to win the
hearts of their audiences. Here is what Niblo had to say about
3D whilst the company were producing StreetDance 3D
-“3D is still very much in its infancy, and for the company
to expand and stay current within the market place we
need to become involved…..especially with the genre films
we produce, audiences expect the 3D factor….”
I feel as though Vertigo Film’s would have a place for The
Holidayas they have explored high rated horror movies
already such as A Night In The Woods and Shroomsboth
rated as 18’s however have not hit that younger horror
audience with a 15 rated film. Also even though the story
line of A Night in the Woods has the same idea of a group of
friends going away on holiday, I feel that my characters
within my film are more relatable to a younger audience.
Also I would feel very comfortable that Vertigo Films would
not turn it into a Hollywood blockbuster and keep it sweet
and simple. They have also had experience with found
footage films as the entire film A Night in the Woods is
found footage. I would feel more confident with an
independent film company as I believe they would give me
more freedom to explore my way of telling the story.
Vertigo Film’s also holds an annual competition for young
new filmmakers. This would give me a potential root into

7. getting the backing of Vertigo Film’s. The last lucky winner
was Ian Clark with a short film called Guinea Pigs which
Vertigo Film’s went on to make into big feature film called
The Facility. This shows that Vertigo supports new and
upcoming film makers.
