Founded in 2008, The Fyzz Limited (thefyzz) is an entertainment production company that develops and produces feature films, television programmes, music videos and theatrical arts projects. They aspire to create products that entertain, inform and challenge and are dedicated to producing the best and most original new media.

Industry veteran and thefyzz founder Wayne Marc Godfrey left his post as Director of Acquisitions & Development for Goldcrest Films International in 2007 to produce the feature film 'Three and Out' (Deal or no Deal) starring Mackenzie Crook, Colm Meaney, Imelda Staunton and Gemma Arterton, released in the UK on April 25th 2008 across 380 screens. Soon after he set up thefyzz and since then the company has been consistent in developing and creating critically successful and commercially viable projects.

In October 2008 thefyzz Produced the short film ‘Fused’, that was awarded the top prize at the prestigious 48 Hour Film Project, being named Best Film – London 2008. The six-minute short is an engaging nugget of cinema, revolving around the humorous and unexpected events facing a group of friends at a dinner party when the power keeps cutting out. The film also received three more awards: Best Ensemble Cast, Best Use of Line and The Audience Award, making it the most bestowed film of the competition.

Most recently thefyzz had success on the stage with their debut play Negative Space, written by Rachel Sternberg and Jemma Wayne and directed by the award winning Tom Hunsinger. Critic’s Choice in TimeOut London and with glowing reviews from the rest of the London press, Negative Space saw a fabulous run at the New End Theatre in Hampstead.

Currently thefyzz is executive producing a new apocalyptic thriller 'The Last Seven' directed by Imran Naqvi and is developing a slate of feature film projects including The Chinaman, a political thriller based on the best-selling novel by the same name, written by Stephen Leather.
