Rogue is a commercial, TV, music video and documentary production company, originally organised under the name of Drum Films in 1974, as part of The Moving Picture Company. In 1983 Michael Green purchased both companies, making them part of his Carlton Communications.[1] Renamed Rogue Films in 1992, the company became an independent entity in 1998,[2] and represents award-winning British directors,[3] such as Academy Award winner Kevin Macdonald[4] (One Day in September, Last King of Scotland, Life in a Day) and Grammy Award-winning Sam Brown[5] (music videos for Adele, Jay-Z and Foo Fighters).

In the field of commercials Rogue has won many awards over the years from festivals such as the Cannes Lions,[6] British Arrows,[7] and Creative Circle.[8]
