Group Creative Director

I worked as the Group Creative Director at Secret Cinema from 2017 till July 2023. I filled the huge shoes of founder Fabien Riggall who mentored and developed my talents when he stepped back from show delivery. I was responsible for the full spectrum of creative delivery: from slate development, winning studio pitches and I.P. then show development and production.

Matthew J Bennett - Senior Creative Director

With an exceptional creative prowess that consistently captivates studio executives, I feel confident when winning high-stakes pitches and securing coveted rights. Successively I am adept at spearheading the creative direction of multi-million-pound productions inspired by iconic narratives from industry giants like Disney, Netflix, Warner Bros, and Universal.


I have extensive experience in activating powerful brands in the heart of a narrative world. At Secret Cinema I led a creative team of up to eleven multi-disciplined creatives at our peak capacity. With nine years experience designing immersive experiences and playing with audiences inside much loved stories - I am ready for my next challenging project.
