Creative Arts Club

Actor and film-maker Tom Lincoln (School 1998-2003) welcomes Old Millhillians forging careers in the creative arts and media to party

If you work in film, TV, theatre, photography, music, writing and any other artistic profession you are welcome to join us at our annual event aimed to socialise, promote comradery and to network. We are particularly keen to encourage younger OMs who might benefit from the guidance from more experienced members who have found success in what is surely one of the most competitive and least structured career path.

I founded the CAC in 2015 because I realised that there was a distinct lack of social action within the OMC for members involved in the entertainment industry. There were annual functions in place for the Engineers, Accountants, Lawyers, City workers...but there was nothing for those involved in the arts. It’s our hope that new connections made at our annual event will lead to mentoring opportunities and chances for future creative collaboration, bolstering our member’s confidence as they build their career.

Past events have been held at the Royal Court Theatre Bar, where members from a broad range of disciplines including actors, directors, producers, financiers, photographers, musicians, videographers, fine artists and playwrights have gathered. It’s a bohemian crowd to be sure!

To kick things off again in style we held a champagne reception on 25 November 2021 at the Sky Lounge in Chair of the Old Millhillians Club, Peter Wakeham’s residential apartment block in Bermondsey. A stunning venue overlooking the river Thames near Blackfriars Bridge - thank you so much Peter. To get on the list for these events please email me (see details below).

This year’s event featured a talk with TV producer Chris Clough who shared stories of how he started and his extensive experience in the entertainment industry. With over 30 attendees, from aspiring current students mixing with more established OMs like Rick Senat (Warner Bros.) it was a fantastic night!
