James Flynn is a native of Ireland. After completing an English degree at University College Cork, he moved to France and fell in love with French cinema.
The spirit of adventure led to life in a few more European countries before setting up a theatre company, Practicum Theatre, with two fellow writers. The aim was to produce the work of emerging writers and directors.
Three very productive years and a few festivals later, he left the company on a high note, producing the UK premiere of the American play, The Viewing Room, in London’s renowned West End.
