Widows producers: 'Television has raised the game for drama'
The founders of the production company responsible for The Kings Speech and Top of the Lake, as well as Steve McQueen’s forthcoming heist drama, reveal the challenges of film-making in the streaming age
Anticipation is high for Widows, the new film from British director Steve McQueen, which opened the BFI London film festival on Wednesday. Not only is it a new release from one of the UK’s most renowned film-makers, but it is the latest pitch for box office and awards success by a new breed of film production companies – or “content providers”, as they now term themselves.
See-Saw Films, the company behind Widows, was founded in 2008 by Iain Canning and Emile Sherman. It has made awards-friendly dramas such as The Kings Speech and Lion, TV series such as Top of the Lake, music videos for Kanye West and the Netflix fantasy show The New Legends of Monkey.
