The Progress Film Company
Taking on the name of a pioneering film studio established on the south coast 100 years ago, The Progress Film Company was founded in 2010 by filmmakers Matt Hopkins & Ben Lankester.
Our Mission
Progress was created by filmmakers, so naturally we’ve always been driven to create outstanding work. Whether in the commercial or independent space, our mission is to tell powerful stories. Stories that matter.
Our Directors
With decades of commercial experience, our international roster of award-winning directors create culturally significant storytelling through drama and documentary.
MEET OUR TALENT
Our Studio
Our primary home is our stunning Studio in Brighton, where a team of creatives, producers and filmmakers collaborate in one of the most unique spaces in the UK’s most diverse and exciting city.
Our Culture
We’re a family business, but first and foremost we’re a family. Over 10 years we have created a culture that centres around growth and development, a welcoming space where filmmaking talent can fulfil their potential.
Our Community
In what can often be a lonely, isolating and overly-competitive industry, we’ve created filmmaking communities to help grow, develop and support each other. We’re better making progress together.
