UK film production company used in Barbie enters administration after 15 years
Administrators said the London-based film services company carried net liabilities of nearly £396,000 after 15 years in business.
London-Based film services provider Mission Digital Ltd has fallen into administration after 15 years in business, with joint administrators Jeffrey Mark Brenner and James Stares from Antony Batty & Company Ltd appointed on June 29.
Accounts for the year to June 30, 2025, showed fixed assets of £1.1 million and current assets of around £144,000, though net liabilities reached close to £396,000, reflecting ongoing financial challenges.
The company provided digital imaging technology and dailies services for high-end productions, with credits including Project Hail Mary, Barbie, and Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, supporting leading cinematographers over more than a decade.
Daily management has been handed to the administrators, who implemented a statutory moratorium giving the company "breathing space" to draw up financial restructuring plans free from creditor enforcement actions.
Administrators must formulate proposals within 8 weeks under the Insolvency Act 1986, determining whether the firm will be rescued, enter liquidation, or be dissolved.
