COMPANY HISTORY
The company was conceived in February 2002 by film students, under the name 'ATAK Films', in order to produce a short film for distribution by Staffordshire University. In March 2002, the company changed its name to 'Last ATAK Pictures'.

The name and logo of Last ATAK Pictures have come to be synonymous with high quality and original productions.

Striving to maintain a diverse catalogue of work; the company has moved effortlessly from the lighthearted comedy of its debut production 'LiMBO', to the dramatic love-story of 'The Silent Voice' and the emotional drama 'Autumn Heart'. They have also produced their first documentary for Nameless Productions & Friends of Ken and began work on their first feature film 'The Musicals' in 2004.

The daily management of the company is overseen by Andrew Davidson; and continues to enjoy the involvement of its founding members.

Last ATAK Pictures is now fully independent and produces it's own work, often in association with other companies. The company also has close links with Odeon Cinemas Ltd. in the UK where it operates the web based portion of Odeon Stoke's 'Student Screen' event.
 
LAST ATAK PICTURES? WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
The name is a cheated acronym taken from the first names of the four original company founders - and creators of the short film 'LiMBO' - Angela, Tom, Andrew and Kati. Originally known as 'ATAK Films' (pronounced attack), the company was formed from the creative minds of four film students.

Two weeks later, the original team of four was joined by two new members acting as Executive Producers, Lisa and Pamela (Lisa subsequently leaving before initial production began).

The decision was later made to enlarge the name of the company in order to recognise its multi-media production nature, and conveniently the initials of Lisa and Pamela were taken to form 'Last' and 'Pictures' - thus the name of 'Last ATAK Pictures' was conceived.

In one moment of inspiration, 'Last ATAK Pictures' as we know it today, was created.
