MUMBAI: With the installation of a second high-end negative bath and additional facilities, Reliance ADA group company Reliance MediaWorks has expanded its UK operations.

This move will enable the company to handle processing bonded feature films for Hollywood, British and European producers shooting in the UK.

The laboratory, one of the only two film processing facilities operating in London‘s Soho district, is a widely preferred destination for film negative processing for leading commercials and high-end television work including majority of BBC‘s productions like Spooks, Waking the Dead and New Tricks, the box-office hit Earth, the feature film version of the hit series Planet Earth among others.

Reliance MediaWorks UK currently offers front-end, processing restoration, 2D to 3D conversion and post-production services to Broadcasters and Studios. The company has added additional 5000 sq ft premises on Poland street in London to house its extensive film and media services offering.

Commenting on the expansion, Reliance MediaWorks CEO Anil Arjun said, "Our London lab has developed a reputation as one of the top processing labs anywhere in the world. As an integrated global film and media service provider, we see a strong business opportunity across Europe, which is why we are making significant investments to increase the capacity of our London lab and enable it to support work on major feature film productions as well."

Reliance MediaWorks has already processed several independent UK and European feature films, having recently also catered to Indian film productions in London and UK.
