We were delighted to be a part of the Manaki Brothers Film Festival this year, where Loop Talent’s founder Lucy Price was invited to speak on two panels offering insight into agency representation.

The first panel with Women in Cinematography had a focus on how representation works in practice, and how work doesn’t always speak for itself: “The work is the foundation, promotion is the accelerant”.

The second brought together agencies and PR professionals to demystify the role of agents and share advice on how creatives can find the right support.

Loop Talent was proud to be represented at the festival, and to contribute practical, honest advice to an engaged and thoughtful audience.

Congratulations!
