Tim Miller – Timothy Hugh Pitt Miller – died on the 31st December 2024.
Tim was the founding father of Indigenous People’s Cultural Support Trust, the registered charitable trust behind Tribes Alive. In his always understated way he guided IPCST into existence and remained a trustee to the end, forever there to offer sage advice and encouragement.
He was a man of many talents; a Fellow of the Royal College of Art, where he was head of the postgraduate film school; counsellor to the London clergy at times of personal stress; for many years he was also a probation officer, guiding London’s lost young people back to a better path.
His film making career started in documentaries and led to writing screenplays. His work has taken him to remote parts of the world; in 2003 The Warrior was shot in the Thar Desert in Rajisthan. In 2006 he went to the Arctic on a feature film about indigenous herders.
He was also a founder of the homeless London charity Centrepoint, and a tireless campaigner for all things Soho. He will always be in our hearts and he will always be missed.
