Factory’s creator, Howard Webster, says, “Factory has built a unique reputation for creativity and talent spotting in the entertainment industry yet still managed to maintain its credibility and independence. I am personally very proud of the careers it has helped to launch. Factory has been a truly underground and uniquely British voice at the heart of Hollywood championing talent sometimes years before mainstream titles become aware of it; the title has pushed boundaries, always been at the vanguard creatively and the new online edition continues that tradition.”
