To date Nocturnal Pictures has been a self-contained production company, operating without any external investment into the business or its productions. Wanting to scale the company, Leroy Kincaide (Founder & CEO) has his sights set to grow the business throughout 2023-24, thus opening the window for scalable investment. With the company’s success of their debut feature film, “The Last Rite” which sold to Samuel Goldwyn Films and is currently out worldwide (including streaming on HULU & Sky). Nocturnal Pictures has its sights set on maximising its IPs in development.

With such determination, distinctive vision coupled with the founder’s work ethic, Nocturnal Pictures was recently selected for Creative Enterprises “Evolve” programme. Thus, putting the company in a prime position to move forward and begin working on its slate of high concept genre movies.

Evolve is a unique programme created to bring the best creative screen business and investment opportunities together. Developed by investors and in partnership with the British Film Institute, Creative UK, and the UK British Angels Association.

“The creative industries contribute £111.7bn GVA to the UK economy. Over £8bn of that is attributed to businesses from the creative screen sub-sectors, a space that has been performing strongly during the COVID-19 pandemic.” – Creative UK

After almost 8 years of bootstrapping and growing the company, it is incredibly exciting that Nocturnal Pictures has been recognised as a high potential screen business by one of the UK’s main film bodies, Leroy had this to say about the news:

“To be selected for this programme is a great opportunity for my company Nocturnal Pictures, as someone who comes from a low-socio economic background with no mentors or guidance, it’s an incredible opportunity to take Nocturnal Pictures to the next level and become the company I have always envisioned it being” – Leroy Kincaide, Founder & CEO Nocturnal Pictures.
