Who’s behind the project?

Hi, I'm Duncan Carson and I’ve been working in the world of cinema for over a decade.


My day job is at the Independent Cinema Office, a national charity developing cinemas and audiences for a wider range of films. 

I have helped cinemas start up and thrive. My work has helped me understand what a difference a cinema makes to a community, and how to make a success of new cinemas. I want to take that knowledge and make a cinema Waltham Forest can be really proud of.

I grew up in a rural community without access to a local cinema, so I know what a difference it can make to have great films and a cinema community within a stone’s throw of your house.

I am keen to find new collaborators for the project, so click here to see how you can join me in this work.
