Our approach
A partner from
the start.
We provide equity investment for UK independent features and UK co-productions with partners in Europe and beyond.
Why us
Helping producers
close.
Film financing has become harder for independent producers. Finance plans stall, shoots get pushed, and good projects slip because the money doesn't come together in time. Hijack Capital exists to help producers close. We invest early, from development through to the start of post, so producers we back have a partner from the start.
We bring financial, administrative and creative experience alongside the investment. We invest in films we want to see made, and we back the producers making them. For us, this is about more than financial returns.
What we back
Independent features,
long-form TV.
Independent feature films and long-form television, across genres, including UK-led projects and international co-productions.
Recent backing:
- Dust (Dir. Anke Blondé, 2026). Main Competition at the 76th Berlin International Film Festival. A four-country European co-production led by A Private View.
- Black Noise (Dir. Simon Blake, 2026). UK thriller starring Aidan Gillen, Kate Phillips and Tom Mothersdale. Completed and out to sales and distribution.
How we engage
Talk to us
at any stage.
We're happy to come in early and help shape a finance plan, or later, once a project is packaged and looking for the piece that closes it. Each project is considered on its own merits.
Hijack Capital is based in London. We take meetings in person at our HQ, at the major European markets (Cannes Marché du Film, Venice Production Bridge, Berlinale EFM), and by video for producers further afield.
