NOT A GENRE.
A POINT OF VIEW.

Fourth Colour is an emerging Black British film studio based in Bristol. We develop ambitious, commercially alive stories that let Black characters be funny, romantic, difficult, ordinary, strange and unforgettable.

We are building original intellectual property, practical production knowledge and new routes into producing—because the future of British cinema needs more than representation on screen. It needs ownership behind it.
