1. Working Title Films is a British film production company, based in London, England. The company was founded by Tim Bevan and Sarah Radclyffe in 1982. It produces feature films and some television productions. Eric Fellner and Bevan are the co-owners of the company now. Warp Films, a sister company of Warp Records, was set up in 1999 with funding from NESTA. It is based in Sheffield, England with a further office in London and has 14 full-time staff.At present there have been four releases on Warp Films: My Wrongs #8245–8249 & 117 by Chris Morris, which won the Best Short Film award at the BAFTA Awards, and Shane Meadows's films Dead Man's Shoes and This Is England. Chris Cunningham, responsible for Aphex Twin's videos Come To Daddy and Windowlicker, is responsible for an abstract short film called Rubber Johnny, which features the music of Aphex Twin and was released on May 23, 2005. Rubber Johnny was originally scheduled to be released two weeks earlier, but was postponed due to the original printing firm objecting to the film's content.

2. The ownership of the company would affect the bugdet of the film, because, the more popular and wealthy the company is, the more money they have to spend on a film or T.V.
