Pictures, People & Planet

Born out of a passion for film and TV, creative collaboration, and innovative technology, Dirty Looks is a post company that champions independent filmmaking. Our expert team tailors our work to realise each client’s unique vision. We are also taking action on our environmental impact.

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 are working with our supplier base to reduce our emissions.

"I love working with Dirty Looks, I have worked with them for a number of years across a range of projects and budget levels. The DI Producers are a great support and are very knowledgable on all aspects of post production. The facility prioritises its projects and clients and always goes above and beyond to support the filmmakers."

"Incredibly proactive problem-solvers, deeply supportive of both the creative and practical realities of filmmaking, consistently working to find solutions."

"I would highly recommend working with the Dirty Looks team. We've made our last eight films with them (both in the UK and Belgium). They are great across all the aspects of picture post production and they are genuinely a fantastic and lovely bunch of people to work with."

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!
