Socially and politically engaged British feature drama, built around Ken Loach and his long-standing collaborators. Read from their own description and slate rather than a stated brief.
Read from their recent slate, not stated by them.
How to approach
Their contact page is unusually direct. They are not seeking new projects, they are committed to other material for the foreseeable future, and they cannot accept or comment on unsolicited scripts, books or DVDs. They also describe themselves as a team of five with no plans to grow.
No agent route is named, and the reason they give is capacity rather than process. That closure is about how much they can take on, not about who sends the script.
The PreList verdict
Who this is for: almost nobody pitching cold. Sixteen Films exists to make one filmmaking team's work, and they say plainly they have no room for anything else.
Who should skip it: every writer looking for a producer. If your script lives in the same social-realist territory, that tells you something useful about the market, but take it to a company that is actively developing new voices.
