film reviews | movies | features | BRWC Ride Along Producer & Director Meet Top Talent

Wednesday night saw Tim Story & William Packer (director & producer of ‘Ride Along’) & E4/YouTube stars Mandem on the Wall meet with some of the UK’s most talented young filmmakers and aspiring actors at Latimer Talks.

The event, which was organised by award-winning youth engagement agency Latimer Group and promoted solely through social media, saw Story, Packer & Mandem on the Wall engage with a packed room of budding filmmaking talent, just days before the UK release of their latest film, ‘Ride Along’ starring Kevin Hart and Ice Cube.

With over 200 young creatives in attendance, the venue, Camden Collective, was packed to standing room only. The crowd were electrified throughout with feedback from attendees referring to the event as “inspirational.”



“Attended the talk – went home – and immediately went straight back into my script work. Inspired.” said Ging, an aspiring actor, currently studying at L.A.M.D.A.

Kore, a regular at Latimer Talks, said the event was “the best event ever…it was a blast!”

“Latimer are at the forefront of an emerging, underground scene that is bringing together the freshest UK creative talent with the very best industry professionals in order to develop & deliver engaging content as well as connecting top creative talent across London with the biggest names in the business.” said Matthew Hay, Director at Latimer Group. “The story of Tim & Will’s journey to the very top of Hollywood is a real inspiration for the youth talent that we see at Latimer everyday. They tore the house down!”

Mandem on the Wall (writers Joivan Wade, Percelle Ascott and Dee Kartier, and director Freddie Osborne), who opened the night, produced and aired their first episode on YouTube on 24th December 2011, and have since gone on to rack up over 5,000,000 views on YouTube. Since then, Mandem have worked with Latimer Group to co-create a number of campaigns and, owing to their enormous success online, recently featured in E4 comedy drama, “Youngers”.

Famous for their work on films such as Fantastic FourThink Like a ManBarbershop & Stomp the Yard, Story and Packer have consistently wowed audiences around the world, working with some of Hollywood’s biggest names including Beyoncé, Kevin Hart, Jessica Alba, and Ice Cube. Their most recent film ‘Ride Along’ reined the box office charts for several weeks following it’s release in the US last month and is believed to have grossed $120m worldwide to date.
