Nicola's story
When I was younger in my free time I could either be found in the cinema or at a gig. Not much has changed but now I’m lucky enough to be able to combine these into a key part of my career.
It was during a work placement – cutting and splicing film negative – in the bustling Soho, London where I got my first real taste of the film industry and realised that this was the industry I wanted to work in.
Whilst studying for my undergraduate degree (and subsequently my postgraduate degree) I started working for the Film Distributors’ Association. This gave me a unique industry-wide perspective across film releases, government policy affecting the film industry and marketing as a whole.
From joining Trafalgar Releasing (when it was formerly Picturehouse Entertainment) my role has developed and grown. There have been a whole host of highlights so far including: leading of the creation of all marketing materials from restored WWI footage across Peter Jackson’s They Shall Not Grow Old, creating animated social assets and 40th anniversary packs for cinema-goers worldwide for Monty Python’s Life of Brian, to presenting Ian McKellen his birthday cake on stage during a live broadcast to cinemas around the world.
Whilst not in the cinema or at a gig then I like to explore the outdoors, travel, watch documentaries, do photography, and attempt to catch some waves in Cornwall.
