Restless Chimp Films

Restless Chimp Films is an independent production company based in Glasgow.

Passionate about new writing and untold stories, our goals are to encourage diversity in front of and behind the camera, to provide a platform for suppressed voices, and to help raise awareness of existential issues

Working with emerging and established creatives, we endeavour to recruit from the talented workforce in Scotland.

Our first short film, A Coincidental Engagement, described as a “supernatural break-up movie”, was an official selection at the Unrestricted View Horror Film Festival, Apex Film Awards, and The London Lift-off Film Festival.

It was written, produced, and directed by Kal Sabir (company director), who in 2024 was awarded a short film commission by the National Theatre of Scotland to write and direct Kinaara (Edge).

Through developing our in-house slate of projects, our ultimate aim is to deliver world-class entertainment for diverse markets.
