Markou’s debut feature film Papadopoulos & Sons, starring Stephen Dillane, was completed in 2012.[3][4] The film was self-distributed by Markou in UK cinemas in April 2013 achieving the second highest screen average of any film in that weekend.[5] This success places the film among the top 5 self-distributed UK films in the past 15 years.[6] The film went on to be bought by the BBC, ARTE and Netflix. Markou’s approach to distribution included cold calling Greek Orthodox priests asking them to announce the film in their Sunday services[7] Markou speaks extensively about self distribution at film industry events and film festivals and is the subject of self distribution case studies.[8][9] His play Ordinary Dreams; Or How to Survive a Meltdown with Flair was staged in May 2009 at the Trafalgar Studios with actors James Lance and Adrian Bower. Age-Sex-Location, his play about chat rooms and virtual worlds, was staged at the Riverside Studios in 2004 with actor Ed Stoppard.[10] In 2014 Markou was nominated by the London Critics Circle Awards for Breakthrough British Filmmaker.[11] On 11 April 2018 it was announced that Marcus Markou was embarking in a new crowdfunding film and TV venture, along with US producer Cassian Elwes. Their company, dubbed Movie Collective, aims at financing film projects through an innovative crowdfunding approach that allows any investor to share the risk and the rewards, should a film be profitable.[12] References1. ^{{cite news|author=The British Theatre Guide|url=http://www.britishtheatreguide.info/otherresources/interviews/MarcusMarkou.htm|title=Marcus Markou - Interview|accessdate=11 April 2018}} 2. ^{{cite news|author=The Telegraph |url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/yourbusiness/2890466/A-nation-of-publicans.html|title=A nation of publicans|accessdate=11 April 2018|date=19 July 2004}} 3. ^{{cite news|author=The Wimbledon Guardian|url=http://www.yourlocalguardian.co.uk/news/local/wimbledonnews/9192940.Cameras_roll_for_film_stars|title=Cameras roll for film stars |accessdate=11 April 2018 |date=12 August 2011}} 4. ^{{cite news|author=Birmingham Mail|url=http://www.birminghammail.co.uk/whats-on/films/film-review-birmingham-based-marcus-2520485|title=Graham Young talks to Brummie director of chip shop film Papadopoulos & Sons|accessdate=11 April 2018 |date=5 April 2013}} 5. ^{{cite news|author=Birmingham Mail|url=http://www.birminghammail.co.uk/whats-on/films/birmingham-fish-chips-movie-set-2577715|title=Brum fish and chips movie Papadopoulos & Sons set for wider release after beating Hollywood blockbuster in London|accessdate=11 April 2018}} 6. ^{{cite news|author=Sight and Sound Magazine|url=http://www.londonscreenwritersfestival.com/assets/Sight-and-Sound1.pdf|title=The Numbers - Papadopoulous & Sons|accessdate=11 April 2018}} 7. ^{{cite news|author=Den Of Geek|url=http://www.denofgeek.com/uk/movies/kevin-smith/50968/kevin-smith-self-distribution-and-the-future-of-cinema|title=Kevin Smith, self-distribution, and the future of cinema|accessdate=11 April 2018|date=9 August 2017}} 8. ^{{cite news|author=The Guardian|url=https://www.theguardian.com/media-network/2015/may/29/papadopoulos-sons-self-distribution-film-industry|title=How I self-distributed my feature film|accessdate=11 April 2018|date=29 May 2015}} 9. ^{{cite news|author=The Huffington Post|url=https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/marcus-markou/how-to-selfdistribute-you_b_6887364.html|title=How to Self-Distribute Your First Film|accessdate=11 April 2018|date=30 March 2015}} 10. ^{{cite news|author=The Stage|url=https://www.thestage.co.uk/reviews/2004/age-sex-location-review-at-riverside-studios-london/ |title=Age Sex Location - Review|accessdate=11 April 2018 |date=11 March 2004}} 11. ^{{cite news|author=Hollywood Reporter|url=http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/12-years-a-slave-leads-666191|title='12 Years a Slave' Leads London Critics' Circle Film Awards Nominations|accessdate=11 April 2018|date=17 December 2013}} 12. ^{{cite news|author=Screen International|url=https://www.screendaily.com/news/cassian-elwes-launching-crowdfunding-production-venture-exclusive/5128158.article|title=Cassian Elwes launching crowdfunding production venture|accessdate=11 April 2018|date=11 April 2018}} External links
