The Lynch Mob Agency

Supporting artists is what we do

If you have been a part of the ‘mob’ since we started 5 years ago you will know that we are a dedicated team of people who sole aim is to bring you better paid and more high profile work.

If you are new then check out our pages here such as our ‘Credit History’ where you can find our own CV of productions we have supplied supporting artists to. 

From humble beginnings when we stared out on low budget films to recently supplying the supporting artist to music videos such as One Direction, huge pop stars such as Robbie Williams, TV drama’s such as BBC Atlantis and for documentary films working with Ryan Giggs the Manchester UTD team and David Beckham.

Working with production and distribution houses such as Lionsgate, Metrodome, HBO Europe, Universal Pictures, Creative Media, 20th Century Fox, BBC Worldwide, Paramount and Fox Searchlight to name a few we are a busy agency with plenty of work and currently are looking for people to be supporting in a range of commercials, half a dozen feature films all of which we are casting and looking for extras now.

We believe everyone should have the opportunity of getting work from us so each month we feature 200 artist to be on our pages and this is another way of getting you work. 

Feel free to take a look around our pages including the ‘Extras Area’ and 'Actors Area' where you see the work on offer and below you will see a diary of what we have recently been up to and sometimes a glimpse of what we are working on in the future.

Thats a wrap on ‘The Bank Job’

Just want to say a huge thank you to all 50 of our supporting artists that took part in ‘The Bank Job’ production that took place this week.

There is something about the first production of a new year that I always enjoy, catching up with some old friends who have worked with us time after time before and new people working on the first or maybe second production with us.

Today we had a fun-filled afternoon on set this after a morning where it was especially nice to have time to share in your past experiences and new goals for 2015, I very much enjoyed talking about our plans and goals for 2015 too.

For those not on set today pre-production on our next feature entered its 3rd day with the producers mostly looking and searching for suitable locations before filming starts soon.

Will keep you all updated on the progress of that and more work from us including a new job today posted in our ‘Extras Area’ be sure to check it out.

Thanks again to those that took part in our first production of 2015 and wishing you all well as we move towards the weekend.

EXTRAS ASSEMBLE

MAKE SURE YOU CHECK OUT THE EXTRAS AREA FOR THE NEW JOBS POSTED TODAY

First job of 2015 for The Lynch Mob Agency

So after a Christmas when like so many I worked within the agency and also with the homeless at one of the out reach centres in London am pleased to say I then enjoyed a New Years Eve off in Brighton and saw the New Year in celebrating with my family and friends.

Proud of my volunteer badge that allowed entry to Crisis party at Scala

Last night I enjoyed a lovely evening at Scala Nightclub, Kings Cross in London when the homeless charity ‘Crisis' threw the thank you party where thousands of volunteers who had made the last 8 days of housing and feeding the homeless possible and who turned up to hear the speeches from those who organised this years Crisis at Christmas, the emotional thanks from some of the guests was read out to us all which I found like so many so heart wrenching but also so inspiring, a video was then shown of what Crisis means to the homeless and the volunteers before we danced the night away.

Am looking forward to our first job of the year in the morning back in London when I will find myself with the choice of supporting artists that production went with for the high street bank production we have been asked to supply and help out on. If you haven’t been selected its not over yet as supporting artists are needed for Tuesday and Thursday as well. Am very much looking forward to seeing those that will be first up for this work this week.

Thanks to everyone with your Christmas, New Years well wishes and all the support over the last couple of weeks. Without you I wouldn’t get to do what and feel am so lucky to do.

Johnny Lynch.

I have posted below the video we was shown at Scala on Saturday evening. I urge you to take a look and see what an impact the charity as on those that have no option than to sleep on our towns and city streets.

Happy New Year.

So am writing this up on New Years Eve in Brighton where am staying for a few days.

Sunsetting over Brighton on New Years Eve 2014

Here at 'The Lynch Mob Agency' we have had a wonderful year which is down to to two things. Firstly the productions we have worked on have this year been of a higher value than any other year and secondly you our supporting artists have not only been able to take advantage of those productions but have also represented us and yourselves professionally when we have called on you for work.

We have had work to offer you in the past 12 months with the BBC, ITV, Channel4 along with Sky, commercials for independent and global campaigns along with corporate work all of which made 2014 a most productive and increased our standing within the supporting artist sector of the U.K TV & Film industry.

Johnny and Kristina supporting Crisis and raising awareness on the long walk to end homelessness

Our work with the charity ‘Crisis’ continued from where we left off in 2013 when our supporting artists donated travel expenses from the One Direction shoot and this year we slept out on the streets to raise some more much needed funds ending it with myself working over the Christmas holiday period at one of the outreach centres in North London. We will continue in our small way of doing what we can with those that are vulnerable, homeless and have no other option than sleeping on our city streets.

On a positive note we have dropped some companies we have worked with in the past due to a reputation we have not wanted to be associated with and have dropped some of our artists too who we feel don't represent us well but that leaves us as we start a new year with 14 production companies we are exclusively locked in with to supply supporting artists to and approx 1600 supporting artist to take us into next year which I personally can't wait to get started on.

The Lynch Mob Agency is an ever changing network of people all committed to working in British TV and Film and this year was a fantastic success which at the end of the day is down to you. I want to wish you a happy new year this evening, to be safe, look out for those less fortunate and finally wish you all of you and your a family a prosperous New Year.

Cockneys vs Zombies - Dir Matthias Hoene (2012)

The Fitzroy - Welcome to the end of the world, we hope you have a nice holiday.

The Fitzroy feature film which I personally was so pleased to work on last year is a black comedy feature film set in an alternative 1950s.

The world is covered in poisonous gas. The Fitzroy hotel, a leaky submarine beached just off Margate, is the last refuge for a traditional summer holiday. To be asked to step away from what my normal role in film is in supplying the supporting artists and to be brought on board as the diving safety officer it combined my two biggest loves. It was an unforgettable experience and just want to say here thank you to the producer Martin Walker who I met when he was location manager on 'Cockneys vs Zombies'

The Fitzroy is the debut feature film written and directed by Andrew Harmer and produced by James Heath & Liam Garvo through Dresden Pictures.





There are some drawbacks of having a hotel on a submarine and they can now also be seen and explored in The Fitzroy in The Fitzroy Comic

That’s right the Fitzroy team have made a comic and I had the pleasure of watching the first copies coming of the press this week.

The world within The Fitzroy film simply didn’t give enough scope to show the universe that had been devised outside the submarine. The production team would often discuss during production what characters outside the sub on main land Britain would be doing, how they would be coping with the post-apocalypse.

They wanted to represent this world and tell the stories going on within it. Then it hit home, why not make a comic? So not being comic people themselves, they teamed up with the fantastic guys at 'Dead Canary Comics' to get to work on making a comic.

Working with the guys to create stories that take a look at what life would have been like for the citizens of the UK that were committed to ‘chinning up and carrying on’. Everyone pitched and worked together to help gather the best talent they could muster, donned the gas masks and went a-travelling.

The comic is an anthology book featuring six short stories from the world of the Fitzroy, along the way we’ll meet French balloonists Claude and Marcel, make a call with travelling salesman Alvin, enter the wonderful world of Lord Blatherington and watch the weirdest game of keeping up with the Jones’ ever played.  The comic will feature art by Will Robson, Will Kirkby, Patrick Lindberg, Charlie Hodgson and other incredibly talented artists.

It was an pleasure and a huge first for me, my cheek is so swollen from my abscess that my face looks like Kim Kardashian's bum but am hoping am going to be OK as am so looking forward to celebrating the launch of the film and the release of the comic at a little soiree in London on the 20th November.

Combining my two huge passions in life this means such a lot to me and we will be celebrating the launch with a special 'Fitzroy Martini' created and mixed by 'Platform.

Check out the events page for more details.

Are you young and passionate about a career in film?

On set and first slate of the day on 'The Guvnors'

UPDATE

Since I launched the 'Work Inspiration Scheme' on our social media pages I have been overwhelmed with support from all departments of who I have worked with in the past. From location managers who source to set designers who build to armorers who make safe all the weapons on set to name a few. 

If you have a particular interest in film making please make sure you put that on your application so we can concentrate in what inspires you.

If you are aged 14 – 17 and would like to gain hands on experience and knowledge about the film industry check out our 'The Lynch Mob Work Inspiration Scheme' for young people who want to gain knowledge about the film industry.

'Work Inspiration Scheme'
The scheme is inspired through my own inability to get on at school and that it took me many years to find my own role often making many mistakes and going down blind alleys before I found something that I wanted to passionately pursue in the work place.

So it gives me great pleasure that on the morning of Monday 20th October this week and after a lot of work to make this happen am delighted to be launching our 'Work Inspiration Scheme' for young people who want an idea of what the U.K film industry is all about.

Our two week programme funded by 'The Lynch Mob Agency' will run in the summer 2015 which aims to engage, support and offer young people with the opportunity to build their confidence, gain insight into our industry and see film as a possible career option.

What will the scheme cover?

Through a series of workshops, show and tell sessions and tours delivered by members of The Lynch Mob Agency along with media and production professionals, you’ll gain insights into film and the wider business, have the opportunity to develop personal skills such as team work, communication, planning, initiative and confidence.

You will also have the opportunity to gain some of the technical skills required to make your own short film.

Sounds good doesn’t it?
Let us know if you would like to considered using the form HERE.
All applications will be considered and successful applicants will be notified by mail.

DON"T CONFUSE WHAT A HEADSHOT IS

Recently I posted 200 headshots of our featured supporting artists for November on our ‘The Lynch Mob Blog’

Here are a few I received last month to us and although entertaining and to be proud of am sure but won’t persuade any casting director, producer, agency booker to book you am sure.

A clear and recent image of your face is called a headshot and is essential to a supporting artist or actor as is in fact on almost every occasion will be what gets you work. It is in fact his or her’s calling card.

The elements of a great headshot are personality, composition, balance, approachability, and memorability. After all, it is the first thing that potential employers will see on your profile and is an opportunity to sell yourself. Your headshot should reflect your personality and show people a little of the spark you possess.

 

If you are looking for new head shots such as Christina Dimitri (above) recently had then get in touch as we have a few slots available on our special half price 'Christmas Offer' to those that are interested.
