Red Box Film

Red Box Films was founded in 2005 by Simon Chinn to produce MAN ON WIRE (taking inspiration from Philippe Petit who kept his dreams - including his plan to high wire illegally between the twin towers – in a red box under his bed). MAN ON WIRE went onto win the Academy Award for best documentary feature, among 30 other international awards. The company has followed up this success with a number of multi award winning films including PROJECT NIM, THE IMPOSTER and SEARCHING FOR SUGAR MAN which also won an Academy Award. The company currently has a slate of projects – both documentaries and dramas – at various stages of production and development.
Red Box has since formed a strategic alliance with Passion Pictures to co-produce or co-executive produce documentary features and also has a slate deal with Company Pictures to develop and co-produce high end television drama for the international market.
