Mark Herbert
Mark Herbert is a UK film producer and the head of the Sheffield-based production company Warp Films. He produced: Four Lions, Dead Man's Shoes, and Phoenix Nights (TV comedy). He was born in Doncaster, and studied Film Studies at Sheffield Hallam University (1991–94).
His first job as a locations manager – on films such as Brassed Off - meant that he spent a few years driving film-makers around, giving him a good opportunity to learn from them.
He has gone on to make low-budget films that have won widespread critical acclaim; This is England was awarded the 2007 BAFTA for Best British Film. A new film with the cast of This is England, meeting the characters again some years after the original story, is in the pipeline.
Studying at Sheffield Hallam University had left him well versed in various film genres and put him in a good position when talking to some of the world’s top directors, Mark said.
