Tea Shop Productions

Tea Shop Productions is a London and Los Angeles-based independent film production company founded in 2010 by James Harris and Mark Lane (with Leonora Darby later joining as a producer). The company specialises in bold, commercially-driven genre films — including thrillers, horror, and action — developed with a US sensibility for financing and often championing first-time or emerging directors. Known for titles such as 47 Meters Down, Fall, The Surfer (starring Nicolas Cage), and the breakout hit Obsession (2026), Tea Shop has established itself as a prolific and impactful independent shingle operating entirely outside the studio system.
