Saltaire Films
The company was formed in 2006 on the back of the success of its predecessor Saltaire Productions, which produced three critically acclaimed and profitable short films - The Sunny Side of the Street (Channel 4 / Film Four); Lightweight (ITV) and Pink Champagne (ITV). All three were also shown at cinemas around the UK as well as at numerous festivals across the world. The Sunny Side of the Street was also released on video by Downtown Pictures.
