The ecosystem
Separate companies, on purpose.
Four organisations share people and premises. They do not share governance, accounts, liabilities or credits.
The companies
Who owns what.

| MR Helix Ltd | A limited company | Technical Innovation, STEAM and Applied R&D, production simulation technology, and the equipment holder |
| Pixeleyed Pictures Ltd | A production company | Commercial production and post. Ran the 2021 pilot; its credits are its own |
| Futures in Film C.I.C. | A community interest company, number 14621615, limited by guarantee and asset-locked | Training, access and social impact, in a structure that cannot distribute its assets |
| Screen Sisters C.I.C. | A separate community interest company, number 16185639, with its own board | Women in screen. Collaborates on Story to Screen and the faith inclusion work |
Each company files its own accounts and has its own directors, insurance and liabilities.
