Career
After studying at the New York Film Academy, Riggall began a career in film production as a runner. In 2003, he put on the first Future Shorts night at the underground bar Ginglik in Shepherd’s Bush. In 2005, Riggall set up Future Cinema, to create immersive environments where the audience could experience films within site-specific locations.
These ideas evolved to form Secret Cinema in 2007. The company stages events of varying scale, from a few hundred to a hundred thousand attendees. In the summer of 2014, over 80,000 people attended the Secret Cinema presents production of Back to the Future in London’s Olympic Park. Secret Cinema productions of Back to the Future and Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back created new records as the biggest live cinema events to date.
