Syncopy Productions

Syncopy is the production company of Christopher Nolan and his wife Emma Thomas. It was founded on February 27, 2001, but no logo was used until 2008. Most of its films are distributed through Warner Bros. Pictures. The company is named after the term "syncopation" (a variety of rhythms played together to make a piece of music). It was suggested to Nolan by his father Brendan, a classical music fan.
