Although born into a film dynasty, Jonathan Woolf didn't enter the movie industry until he was 33 years of age. The son of Sir John Woolf and nephew of James Woolf, the founders of the British production institution Romulus Films, Jonathan started his working career as an investment banker in the City of London. In 1993, he joined the family business to oversee the management of the Romulus Films investments and also trained as a corporate financier and fund manager. After putting the bulk of the Romulus Films back catalogue, including the classics Pandora and the Flying Dutchman, The African Queen, Room at the Top and The L-Shaped Room, under long-term contract with Carlton, all except Oliver!, The Day of the Jackal and The Odessa File, Woolf decided to apply his canny financial know-how to reviving the long-dormant production side of the business. Revelation marks his debut feature as a producer.

Jonathan Woolf explains, "Frankly, my father initially dissuaded me from entering the film industry. He struggled in his early years and didn't feel the film business was a decent profession for his son. So I took up investment banking instead. But film was obviously always in my blood as both of my grandfathers were also in the industry. My father's father CM Woolf started the Rank Organisation with Lord J. Arthur Rank, and, on my mother's side, Victor Saville was a famous producer and director in Hollywood. Of course, there was my Uncle Jimmy too".
