About Flipvanmoon
Founding director Nicholas Marcq has enjoyed 20 years in the creative industries as a producer, director, educator and sometime actor appearing in amongst other things Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels.
In 2001 he founded Latimer Films after his first film, THE REAL NOTTING HILL, made with a group of excluded teenagers from the PRU in Latimer Road was screened on Channel 4 and nominated for a BAFTA.
“The success of The Real Notting Hill taught me that if you expect the best from young people, whatever their circumstance, you get the best. Having the highest aspirations for young people is integral to all our work.
The experience lead me to develop an approach to educational filmmaking that put those with lived experience of the relevant issue at the heart of the creative process to ensure our films spoke with and authentic voice.
As well as providing participants with the opportunity to put difficult experience to a creative and positive effect, this also engaged their target audience to talk about challenging but the pertinent subject matter.”
Recent work as a producer include BBC3 Excluded! My Last Chance; C4’s dog fighting documentary Going to the Dogs and Your Mother, a documentary short for the Office of Counter Terrorism with and about the mothers of suicide bombers.
Nicholas is a trustee of the TBAP foundation an educational trust dedicated to helping those who have been excluded from mainstream education
