Vertigo Films is a British independent TV and Film production company founded in 2002 by Allan Niblo and James Richardson and joined a few years later by current CEO and partner, Jane Moore.

The company has produced and distributed over 50 feature films, from critical hits Monsters and Bronson to Oscar Nominated Ajami, to No.1 UK box office hits StreetDance 3D and The Sweeney. It has also made over 100 hours of high end TV such as Britannia and Bulletproof for Sky, Mammals for Amazon, A Town Called Malice for Sky and Curfew for Paramount +.

Vertigo has a long history of discovering and supporting new talent, giving new stars their first leading role and offering directors their first feature, TV show or English language break. These include Tom Hardy (Bronson, Mad Max), Gareth Edwards (Monsters, Star Wars: Rogue One), Vanessa Kirby (Kill Command, Mission Impossible), Sofia Boutella (StreetDance 2, Rebel Moon), Tom Shankland (The Killing Gene, SAS Rogue Heroes), Max and Dania (Streetdance 3D, Walking on Sunshine), Rob Savage (Strings, Britannia, Boogeyman), Nicolas Winding Refn (Bronson, Drive) and Issa Lopez (Britannia, True Detective 4).

As well as being one of the most prolific and experienced producers in the UK, Vertigo was co-founders in building the film distribution business (now Vertigo Releasing), the international sales company Protagonist Pictures as well as post and VFX companies Post Republic and Automatik (now manager owned) which has given the company huge expertise in film and TV marketing, international sales, post-production and VFX.

In September 2022, Federation Studios acquired a majority stake in Vertigo Films to expand their offering of premium film and TV to the global market.

History

Vertigo Films was created in July 2002, by producers Allan Niblo (producer of Human Traffic and South West 9) and James Richardson (producer of Kiss Kiss (Bang Bang)).[1]

Director Nick Love (screenwriter and, prior to company formation, director of Goodbye Charlie Bright and The Football Factory) and distributor Rupert Preston (distributor of Chopper, Chasing Amy and Bride of Chucky, among others) joined a year later,[2] while entrepreneur Rob Morgan began investment in November 2004.[3]

The company was formed for the express purpose of distributing and producing two films, The Football Factory and It's All Gone Pete Tong. Vertigo Films's film releases were distributed on home video by Entertainment One.[4] Vertigo Films teamed up with Film4 and Ingenious Media in January 2008, to form a sales company called Protagonist Pictures.[5] They also owned a post production company in Berlin called The Post Republic.[6]

Its first two shows, Britannia and Bulletproof, were commissioned by Sky, with both programmes renewed for a second series.[7][8]In May 2021 Bulletproof was cancelled by Sky following extensive allegations [9][10] of on-set bullying and sexual misconduct against actor and executive producer Noel Clarke.[11]
