Marc Allenby
Trafalgar Releasing
Marc has over 25 years of experience within the cinema industry spanning across exhibition and distribution. Starting as an usher at Picturehouse Cinemas whilst at university he quickly fell in love with the industry.
Involved in ‘event cinema’ at its advent, Marc quickly capitalised on the opportunities of this new sector first as an exhibitor for Pictuerhouse Cinemas and then as a distributor for Picturehouse Entertainment.
During this period Marc helped bring the Metropolitan Opera and Bolshoi Ballet to the UK and launched both NTLive and RSC Live as well as high profile events such as The Monty Python reunion concerts and Roger Waters The Wall.
In 2017, Marc helped facilitate the management buyout of Picturehouse Entertainment and re-established the company with its experienced team as Trafalgar Releasing, an integral part of the Trafalgar Entertainment Group. Under his stewardship, Trafalgar Releasing has quadrupled its EBITDA position in two years and has won numerous accolades.
Since then Trafalgar Releasing have gone from strength to strength working on multiple record breaking global releases from artists including BTS, Taylor Swift, Beyonce, Coldplay, Metallica and Pink Floyd. Trafalgar have also seen success in the theatre space with The King and I, A Little Life and Donmar’s Macbeth to name but a few.
