Mary Burke worked as a script consultant on Shane Meadows' Dead Man's Shoes and This is England, before producing Chris Cunningham's short Rubber Jonny and feature films A Complete History of My Sexual Failures and Donkey Punch.
As Warp Films (www.warp.com/films) expands, so the budgets have grown, with Paul King's Bunny and The Bull brought in for £1M. In 2010, she is producing Richard Ayoade's debut Submarine and Chris Morris' new film Four Lions, which depicts life at a militant training camp and has been shortlisted for competition at the prestigious Sundance festival, just one of 14 being screened as part of the ‘world cinema narrative' strand, for which more than 1,000 movies applied. Peep Show creators Jesse Armstrong and Sam Bain worked with Morris on the script, and the core cast includes Kayvan Novak - the man behind Channel 4's Fonejacker series - together with Dead Set star Riz Ahmed, Jam & Jersulaem's Nigel Lindsay and relative newcomer Arsher Ali also have key roles.
Four Lions has been funded by Film Four after the BBC and Channel 4 both rejected it, fearing it may prove too controversial, but Morris said that the film is a farce showing ‘the Dad's Army side to terrorism'.
