about
Vertigo Films

Independent. Reliable. Rebellious.

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 CEO Jane Moore. It has built up one of the most successful feature film businesses in the UK. Producing and releasing over 50 films from critical hits MONSTERS and BRONSON to Oscar Nominated AJAMI, to No.1 UK box office hits STREETDANCE 3D and THE SWEENEY, and its’ TV success has been borne out with three seasons each of BRITANNIA and BULLETPROOF for Sky, MAMMALS for Amazon and A TOWN CALLED MALICE for Sky.

Vertigo has a long history of discovering and supporting new talent, with a number of their films kick-starting the careers of leading names including Tom Hardy (Bronson, Mad Max, Venom), Gareth Edwards (Monsters, Godzilla, Star Wars: Rogue One), Vanessa Kirby (Kill Command, Mission Impossible, The Crown), Sofia Boutella (StreetDance 2, Kingsman, Rebel Moon), Danny Dyer (The Football Factory, The Business, Rivals), Tom Shankland (The Children, Les Misérables, SAS Rogue Heroes), Nicholas Winding Refn (Bronson, Drive, Only God Forgives) and Issa Lopez (Britannia, True Detective 3).

As well as being one of the most prolific and experienced producers in the UK, Vertigo has built and sold several successful companies; Vertigo Releasing, Post Republic and Automatik. In partnership with Film4 and Ingenious, Vertigo set up Protagonist Pictures and it is still a stakeholder today. This has enabled the company to gain unique expertise in film and TV marketing, international sales, post-production and VFX.

In 2015, Vertigo Films shifted its’ focus to television production with much success, producing three series of historical fantasy drama BRITANNIA for Sky/Epix, three series of explosive buddy cop show BULLETPROOF starring Ashley Walters for Sky, and recently released comedy-drama MAMMALS starring James Corden and Sally Hawkins for Amazon Prime.

Now having established a distinguished TV division, Vertigo Films is developing projects for both the big and small screen, offering creative talent and audiences the choice of entertainment. Most recently in movies, Vertigo produced romantic comedy THIS IS CHRISTMAS for Sky starring Alfred Enoch, Kaya Scodelario and Timothy Spall.

Latest release is Nick Love’s 1980s crime thriller, A TOWN CALLED MALICE on Sky Max and NOW TV. Vertigo Films is also in active development on a number of film and TV projects including ARMY OF STRANGERS, THE LAST DAYS OF JACK SPARKS, THE DIRTY SQUAD, THE WHOLE HOG and many more to be announced.

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 and attract entertainment’s top creators and talent for an ambitious development slate.
