CHALLENGING PLACES

Award winning documentary & drama production








BEGINNINGS...

Wildcat Films began with covering the Troubles in Northern Ireland, and then went undercover reporting  on dissident groups in the then Soviet Union.

We went on to pioneer the role of independents in supplying frontline news from remote & hostile environments to networks around the world.

Our ground breaking reports from conflicts in Nicaragua, South Sudan, Western Sahara and Kashmir led to the establishment of the Channel 4 Film Fund which continues to support independents today.

WHAT WE DO NOW...

DOCUMENTARY

Wildcat's exclusive documentaries have investigated heroin smuggling from Afghanistan, exposed the rise in toxic poisoning of polar bears, and highlighted the threat of biological terrorism.

We recently completed a report on the impact of Finland joining NATO, and are currently producing an investigation into how climate change is impacting geopolitics in the High North.

DRAMA

Drama productions have included "An Angel Passes By" which featured a teenage James McAvoy in his first screen role, and which won Best Film at the San Francisco International Film Festival.

Other work has tackled a bilingual drama set within the UK's Chinese community, and a period piece set in the Highlands of Scotland in the 1950's.

NON-BROADCAST

We have delivered award winning educational and campaigning resources to a number of government and non-governmental bodies over the years.

Our clients have included Save The Children, Greenpeace, Friends of the Earth, Renewable UK, Oxfam, the Health & Safety Executive, and the British Antarctic Survey.

NEWS

This is a sizzle for a documentary on the impact of climate change on the geopolitics of the Arctic.

Partly supported by crowdfunding we have been filming in-house for the past two years. We are now planning to complete the programme for the European market by Autumn 2024.

FEATURE DEVELOPMENT...

Like many independent production companies we have a couple of fully developed feature scripts for which we we are seeking co-producers.
