Welcome to the Gate Films.
We are an award-winning commercial production company that has been working at the forefront of the UK film industry since 1997.
With offices in both Manchester and Edinburgh, we deliver a huge spectrum of commercial film production for regional, national and international clients. From high-end TV and cinema commercials, to sponsorship idents and interactive online campaigns…we’re the people you’re looking for.
We have become one of the first choices for filming in the UK because we are continually innovating and improving what we can offer our clients. It's an approach that has seen the Gate awarded Film Production Company of the Year three times in the last four years by The Drum magazine.
As one of the country’s leading film production companies, the Gate boasts a roster of directors that combines BAFTA winners and Cannes nominees, with some of the hottest emerging talent from the UK and beyond. We have built our first-class reputation by seeking-out and fostering new talent, in order to offer the best possible pool of creative talent to our clients.
Just this year at the at Cannes International Advertising Festival, Mark Jewitt was declared one of the top five young commercials directors in Europe by Shots Magazine and CFP-E. Further to this, Eicke Bettinga was recently the only director of a British film to be shortlisted during International Critics Week at the Cannes Film Festival. Our directing duo Tom & Rory were recently named in Shots Magazine’s hottest 100 new directors on the planet, so you can see… We’re not just making this stuff up.
Our senior directors deserve a bit of a mention too, as they continue to work on some of the world's most recognisable brands including Sony, Hoover, Barclays, BBC, McDonalds, Kelloggs, and Unilever to name but a few.
With a twenty strong production team across our offices in England and Scotland, plus an entire broadcast-specification edit facility with three brand-new post-production suites in-house, the Gate Films delivers an unrivalled creative production experience.
