Emile Sherman

Underdog Oscar winner, The King's Speech, catapulted Emile Sherman into another league, and his subsequent films (Oranges And Sunshine, Shame, Dead Europe) as a producer have continued to challenge the status quo. But it's Sherman's partnership in the production company, See-Saw, with British based Iain Canning, plus his large share of Fulcrum (run by Sharon Menzies), which provides gap-finance and cash flow loans to feature films (including the likes of Animal Kingdom and Snowtown), that really gives him the ability to get a film made in this country.
