Quiddity Films was founded in 2016 by Emily Morgan, a NFTS graduate, following her work in distribution and freelance production. Early support came via a BFI Vision Award.[1][2] Morgan earned the BAFTA Award for Outstanding Debut in 2018 for I Am Not a Witch, directed by Rungano Nyoni,[3] and received a British Independent Film Award for Breakthrough Producer the year prior.
Quiddity was selected as one of the UK's top emerging production companies in Screen Daily's Brit50 list.[4] It also received funding from the UK Global Screen Fund and the BBC Small Indie Fund.[5][6]
In 2024, Quiddity secured a strategic investment from The Lift, a Mexico-based production services company. The deal expanded Quiddity's development capacity and enhanced cross-continental collaboration initiatives. It also strengthened its leadership team by hiring Filiz‑Theres Erel as Head of Production, and Alex Hitch as Head of Development.[7]
