Warp Films has appointed Amy O’Hara as Producer, reinvigorating and reinforcing the Sheffield-based company’s commitment to feature film production alongside its acclaimed television output.

O’Hara joins from Film4, where she has served as Development and Production Executive since 2021, supporting a broad slate of feature and short-form projects from early development through to production. Recently she has worked on Rose Glass’ ‘Love Lies Bleeding’, John Crowley’s ‘We Live in Time’, and debuts such as Karan Kandhari’s ‘Sister Midnight’. Prior to that, she was Talent Executive for BFI Network at Film Hub North, collaborating with emerging writers, directors and producers across the UK’s northern regions. O’Hara leaves Film4 in December and will start at Warp Films in January 2026.

This new appointment marks a key step in Warp Films’ strategy to expand its film slate and further champion distinctive, filmmaker-led stories. O’Hara will work closely with Founder and CEO Mark Herbert to develop new film projects and nurture both established and emerging talent. She will also develop a select portfolio of filmmaker-led TV series with Herbert and Chief Creative Officer Emily Feller.

Founded in 2002, Warp Films has been behind some of the UK’s most acclaimed and original feature productions, including This Is England, Submarine, Four Lions, ‘71 and Dead Man’s Shoes. The company has also produced distinctive TV series from renowned filmmakers such as Shane Meadows, Phil Barantini, Sean Durkin and Johan Renck.

On her new role, O’Hara said: “Warp Films are a huge part of the reason I wanted to work in the film industry. Having collaborated with them closely during my time at Film4, I have continually admired their integrity, tenacity and consistent ability to work with talent who want to challenge and excite. I can’t wait to build on and elevate their exceptional legacy in the feature film space from the amazing city I call home”

Mark Herbert, Founder & CEO, Warp Films added: “Amy’s appointment comes at a key moment for Warp as we expand our focus on feature filmmaking. Her creative instincts and experience make her a fantastic addition to the team, as we build on Warp’s legacy of bold, distinctive storytelling. We want Warp to be home to the best and most exciting filmmakers, producing ambitious films for both theatrical release and the streamers.”

In recent years, Warp Films’ television output has produced lauded works such as Adolescence and Reunion. With today’s announcement, the company is committing to expanding its feature-film slate with a focus on ambitious, director-driven stories.
