NIGEL SINCLAIR and his partner, Guy East, launched their independent feature film and television production company, Spitfire Pictures, in early 2003. Prior to starting Spitfire, Sinclair and East co-founded Intermedia Films (in 1996), one of the world's leading independent producers.

In the Fall of 2007, Sinclair and East completed post production, alongside fellow producers Bob Yari, Doug Davison and Roy Lee on Possession, starring Sarah Michelle Gellar (The Grudge, Cruel Intentions, Buffy The Vampire Slayer) and directed by Joel Bergvall and Simon Sandquist (The Invisible) and also released worldwide in collaboration with Universal Pictures, Amazing Journey: The Story of The Who, with Roger Daltrey and Pete Townshend the surviving members of the seminal rock band.

In May 2007, East and Sinclair joined the board of Hammer Films as non-executive directors, following the signature of Spitfire’s First Look development and production pact with the newly revived British horror studio. Spitfire will exclusively produce two to three films per year for the studio.

In 2005, Sinclair produced - with Jeff Rosen, Susan Lacy, Anthony Wall, and Martin Scorsese - the critically acclaimed No Direction Home: Bob Dylan. Directed by Scorsese, this project was released worldwide in September 2005.

In 2002, Sinclair produced, with Jeff Rosen, Bob Dylan's Masked and Anonymous, directed by Larry Charles and starring Bob Dylan, Jeff Bridges, Penelope Cruz, John Goodman, Jessica Lange and Luke Wilson.

In 2001, Sinclair’s Intermedia Films produced two of the year's number one films in the U.S. - K-PAX, starring Kevin Spacey and Jeff Bridges and, The Wedding Planner, starring Jennifer Lopez, on which Sinclair also served as an Executive Producer. Other recent productions on which he served as executive producer include Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines, starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, the Academy Award winning Adaptation., starring Nicolas Cage, Iris, starring Dame Judi Dench, the Academy Award and Golden Globe nominated The Quiet American, starring Michael Caine, the Academy Award nominated Hilary and Jackie, starring Emily Watson, K-19: The Widowmaker, starring Harrison Ford, Enigma, starring Kate Winslet, and Sliding Doors, starring Gwyneth Paltrow.

Sinclair attended Cambridge University in the U.K., and earned a Master of Law from Columbia University in New York.
He practiced law initially in England, and subsequently in Los Angeles with the London firm of Denton Hall Burgin & Warrens, (now Denton Wilde Sapte). In 1989, Sinclair co-founded a Los Angeles entertainment law firm, Sinclair Tennenbaum & Co., working with leading talent and entertainment corporate clients, until 1996 when he left to found Intermedia, as noted above.
