About DWP:

Dogwoof Pictures (DWP) is actively engaged in the worldwide distribution of motion pictures, home video and music. The company was launched to fill a gap in the market. We bring a different approach to independent film distribution, knowing film inside out and by ensuring we get first-hand access to foreign hits through our international partnerships.

We are genuinely interested in film and in film people, that is why we are coming up with ideas to help the film community, and promote cinema. We have so far set up our own research department, and we are currently working on the creation of a distribution contest -which will help talented film makers to distribute their films-, and a UK cinema event, to get as many people as possible to the cinemas, through cut-rate ticket scheme, with the participation of over 3000 cinemas across the UK.
