WE KNOW OUR ROLE
A small but indispensable cog
in the much bigger wheel
of your production
ABOUT ABOVE THE LINE
The British Film Industry is a very small world, where your reputation tends to arrive at the film set before you do. So for those of you who already know us, this page is probably not necessary. But for those of you who we haven’t had the please of working with yet, here is a little bit about what we have done over the years.
WHY ABOVE THE LINE?
Film Industry Jargon – “Above The Line”.
The invisible line on the budget that determines whether you turn left or right when you walk into the aeroplane; get a chauffeured limo to the set or take the crew-mini-bus; a personal chef cooking you lunch in your trailer or queuing up at the caterer’s van. Are you ABOVE or BELOW that invisible line? It makes a big difference.
When we chose the name Above The Line for our company, it represented to us the first-class service we want to provide for you and your production.
For every job we do, it’s all about providing that “A-List” treatment.
