The story
Founded by Allan Niblo on Jul 2002, in London.1
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)).
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, while entrepreneur Rob Morgan began investment in November 2004.
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. Vertigo Films teamed up with Film4 and Ingenious Media in January 2008, to form a sales company called Protagonist Pictures. They also owned a post production company in Berlin called The Post Republic.
Its first two shows, Britannia and Bulletproof, were commissioned by Sky, with both programmes renewed for a second series. In May 2021 Bulletproof was cancelled by Sky following extensive allegations of on-set bullying and sexual misconduct against actor and executive producer Noel Clarke.
