Seeing as we have decided to shoot our film in the Style of British Drama, I have decided to look into some examples of British Film directors and British Film Institutes.
Directors.
Danny Boyle.
Danny Boyle is an award-winning British director and producer, who started his career with theatre. He made his debut in the feature film industry in the year 1994, with the film 'Shallow Grave'. However, it was his second film 'Trainspotting', released in 1996, through which he rose to fame. One of England's most famous breakthrough talents of the 1990s, Danny Boyle has been in the industry for less than two decades, but has still managed to garner much success and acclaim for himself.
Shane Meadows.A rising star of British cinema, Shane Meadows is an English film director, screenwriter and occasional actor from Uttoxeter, Staffordshire, England. He is especially known for "This is England" (2006) and a number of film shorts: "the Stairwell", "Northern Soul" and "Where's The Money, Ronnie?".
Institute.
If our film was to be made into a production, in my opinion I believe that it would probably appeal to the of film4 and the UK film council. Both of these companies are associated with the production of independent films.

Film 4.
Film4 Productions is a British film production company owned by Channel 4. The company has been responsible for backing a large number of films made in the United Kingdom. The company's first production was Walter, directed by Stephen Frears, which was released in 1982. Before 1998, the company was identified as Channel Four Films or FilmFour International. Later, the outfit was re-branded as FilmFour, to coincide with the launch of a new Digital TV channel of the same name. The company cut its budget and staff significantly in 2002, due to mounting losses, and was re-integrated into the drama department of Channel 4.In 2004, Tessa Ross became head of both Film4 and Channel 4 drama. The name "Film4 Productions" was introduced in 2006 to tie in with the relaunch of the FilmFour broadcast channel as Film4.

UK Film Council.
The UK Film Council (UKFC) was set up in 2000 by the Labour Government as a non-departmental public body to develop and promote the film industry in the UK. It is constituted as a private company limited by guarantee governed by a board of 15directors and is funded through sources including the National Lottery. John Woodward is the Chief Executive Officer of the UKFC. As at 30 June 2008, the company had 90 full-time members of staff. On 26 July 2010 it was announced that the council would be abolished; Woodward said that the decision had been taken with "no notice and no consultation". Since its creation it has distributed more than £160m of lottery money to over 900 films.Lord Puttnam described the Council as "a layer of strategic glue that's helped bind the many parts of our disparate industry together."
