Manori Ravindran International EditorAscendant Films and Burton Fox Films, two of the production companies behind multi-BAFTA and BIFA-nominated restaurant drama “Boiling Point,” have merged to create Ascendant Fox.Since wrapping the critically acclaimed Stephen Graham vehicle, producer Bart Ruspoli’s Ascendant Films and Hester Ruoff’s Burton Fox Films have forged a partnership that’s currently developing a number of projects with various studios.Ascendant Fox’s first project, “Gassed Up,” as revealed by Variety, is the narrative feature debut by George Amponsah, the filmmaker behind the BAFTA-winning documentary “The Hard Stop.” The pic stars Stephen Odubola, Taz Skylar and singer Mae Muller with Yung Filly, Harry Pinero and Ms Banks.

The project, which is now in production, is a co-production with Amazon Studios U.K. and Sunrise Films. Also in the works is “Society,” the follow-up to “Boiling Point” from director Philip Barantini, as well as a TV series by BAFTA-nominated “Boiling Point” writer James Cummings that’s currently in co-production with actor Stephen Graham and Hannah Walters’ Matriarch Productions.Ruspoli set up Ascendant Films in 2017 to make feature films.

The banner’s motto was “A good script must have a human story at its heart and push the tropes of the genre to the edge of the page but not off it.” The outfit’s 2018 action film “Nightshooters” was selected as an in-competition feature at Raindance, Leeds and Mayhem Film Festivals in 2019.

The company also produced Philip Barantini’s 2019 short film “Boiling Point,” upon which the feature film was based, and went on to make the director’s debut feature film, “Villain.”Meanwhile, Burton Fox was set up by actor and producer Ruoff.
