A message from the new District Chair…

Nicolas  Hippisley-Coxe: I was educated in England and went on Voluntary Service Overseas (The English Peace Corps) to India straight from high school. On returning to the UK I went into the film business and worked on 16 feature films including Live and Let Die and many commercials and documentaries. In 1975 I went with my wife to Hong Kong where we spent a busy 15 years and both volunteered for the Samaritans, a crisis hot line organization. In 1990 I came to Los Angles to “try” Hollywood and have been very lucky working on many International commercials and recently on movies with the latest, Waiting For Forever being released on February 1st at The Grove. While in Los Angles I have volunteered with the Mayor’s Crisis Response Team where I am a Senior Supervisor; CERT,  a Battalion #4 Co-ordinator and I am a DAT leader and ADDO at ARC in WLA. I am honored and excited to be West District Chair and look forward to working with Marc Meredith
