What we are all about

Creative Collaboration and Colour Technology

We work with filmmakers to create stunning, cinematic films that inspire and move audiences. Our team is always up for a challenge and is continually looking for new and innovative ways to deliver projects.

Supporting Independent Filmmakers

Dirty Looks loves independent films. We know that indie filmmakers are the backbone of the UK film industry, and we want to help them make the most impactful work. We often support projects from up-and-coming talent as well as stories which resonate with Dirty Looks’ values and champion causes we deeply care about.

Reducing our carbon emissions

We are powered by 100% renewable energy and we are exploring ways to reuse the heat generated by our computing. We have set a net-zero target for 2040 and we are working with our stakeholders to reduce our emissions.

“The Santosh post was done at breakneck speeds to prepare for the Cannes premiere. Dirty Looks were instrumental in helping us meet our deadlines, while delivering first-class services in a friendly and personal studio environment. I look forward to working with them again.”

"Working with Dirty Looks was a pleasure. They were consistently reliable and their team was both helpful and patient. The team readily made changes and accommodated our needs. Even after project handover, the producer responded promptly to our requests, providing excellent support and cooperation. We were confident in their ability to deliver on time, and would definitely work with them again."

"We had a great time working with Dirty Looks on Bring Them Down. The team there were receptive and sensitive to the needs of the film and dealt with issues quickly and effectively. They were great partners! ."

Ethical Film Rendering

We are working in partnership with Deep Green, the sustainable data centre company, on a project which repurposes the heat generated by our post-production computing and contributes it to community swimming pools, for free.

Dirty Looks is joining the campaign to contribute heat to 1500 UK pools!
