Celador Films is a small, British film production company that produces films on a project-by-project basis. It began as a TV production company but transitioned to film production. Celador uses freelance crews for each project and seeks early distribution deals and product placements to increase budgets. Notable Celador films include The Descent, Dirty Pretty Things, and Slumdog Millionaire. While larger studios like Sony spend more on productions, Celador is able to turn profits on lower-budget films through UK film tax relief and targeting specific genres.
