Slingshot is an all-digital, British film company that is dedicated to making good films, differently.

Our contention is that the digital revolution fundamentally transforms the old rules of the film industry. If properly harnessed, digital enables the making of more interesting movies, and permits new and better ways for those movies to find their audiences.

Founded in 2006, we have produced and co-financed five movies to date.  Through slate co-financing deals with BBC Films,  Screen West Midlands and an out-put arrangement with Pathe / Warner Brothers we can bring pictures to reality quickly and effectively.  Working closely with our distribution and sales partners, we assume responsibility for finding audiences for our films, taking a particularly active role in the digital marketing campaigns.

In early 2009, we launched Second Picture Syndrome, an initiative under which 11 talented writers and directors joined the Slingshot fold on a “first look” basis to make a slate of higher budget films.    We intend to continue to make 2-3 films each year, with a bias towards supernatural, horror, comedies, thrillers and teen stories.
