M J W PRODUCTIONS has a long and distinguished record of producing award-winning film and television, particularly in the area of music and arts, but increasingly moving into drama and feature film. Many of their films have involved international co-productions and collaborations, and they have worked extensively with new talent.

In feature film, they are currently developing GAL PLANET (working title), a UK-Scandinavian co-production, written by Stef Penney and directed by Margaret Williams and STELLA by Ricardo Adolfo, also directed by Margaret.

MOUTH TO MOUTH, produced by Anne through sister company M2M Films has recently opened in the USA. Directed by Alison Murray, MOUTH TO MOUTH was executive produced by Atom Egoyan and won the 2006 Britspotting award in Berlin and Best Film at Brooklyn International Film Festival.

MJW have made many short films for television, often exploring the relationship between choreography and the camera. Their three seasons of 4DANCE: DANCE4FILM for Channel 4 involved commissioning short films from 12 different directors, some of them very experienced film-makers but many of them new to television. MJW have also made films with leading choreographers such as David Bintley/Birmingham Royal Ballet, Jiri Kylian/Nederlands Dans Theater and the Girona-based company Mal Pelo.

MJW have a particular reputation for music-dramas. Margaret Williams' film version of Benjamin Britten's OWEN WINGRAVE was received with great critical acclaim. In 2005 they completed ARMIDA, a specially commissioned work by composer Judith Weir, also directed by Margaret, which was shown on Christmas Day 2005 on Channel 4.

As well as their feature film projects, MJW are currently in development on a number of new arts programmes for television and are in pre-production on THE ABC OF DANCE4FILM for Channel 4 and ABC Australia.
