Loop Talent has announced the opening of a new Locations division with signings including Chloe Misson (Séance on a Wet Afternoon for Element Pictures, Everybody Wants to F*** Me for StudioCanal) and Jake Day (A Year In London for LonRom, The Teacher for Clapperboard/Channel 5).

The new department will be overseen by Agent Matt Clinch, who currently represents the agency’s Line Producers and 1st Assistant Directors, amongst other HOD departments.

The move into Locations reflects the agency’s mission to continue its growth as the industry’s one-stop-shop for all production needs, with its diverse list of expert Heads of Department and growing Crew Diary Service.

The new Locations division includes Chloe Misson, known for the BAFTA-winning Code of Silence, starring Rose Ayling-Ellis, and award-winning feature films Hoard and Scrapper, and Jake Day whose work includes BAFTA-winner Babak Anvari’s I Came By and Tales From The Trap.

Lucy Price, founder of Loop Talent, comments: “Location Managers are often the first Heads of Department to join a production and can have a huge impact on everything that follows. Adding Locations to the roster has been on our radar for some time and we’re excited to finally bring the department into Loop. It’s an area of the industry that is incredibly important to the success of any production, yet remains less represented than many other HOD roles. We’re thrilled to welcome Chloe and Jake to the agency and supporting productions with their Location Managers in the years ahead.”.

Clinch adds: “I am thrilled to be leading Loop Talent’s Locations roster given how integral they are to every department on a production, with their logistical skills, budget management, and critical communication skills key to the success of any shoot. I am looking forward to continuing Loop Talent’s commitment to developing and nurturing the talent within our newest division”.

Loop Talent, launched in 2020 by Lucy Price, has firmly established itself as an industry-leading agency representing heads of department and crew across feature films, high end television productions, commercials, and music promos, with a continued focus on empowering and developing its diverse roster of talent.

Congratulations to Line Producer Liv Taylor who has been selected as a Broadcast Hot Shot for 2026!

Broadcast’s long-running emerging talent initiative seeks out the brightest and most promising individuals from across the industry, with Liv being recognised for her exceptional work across a range of HETV productions and feature films, including most recently her work Line Producing the upcoming series of ‘The Bay’.

Having come from an underprivileged background, Liv has fought hard to encourage more accessible pathways in to the industry, and has been involved with mentoring the next generation of crew through her work with the University of Salford, Film London Connect, and most recently through Loop Talent’s partnership with Arts Emergency.

Liv has grown into a confident, highly skilled line producer, offering leadership and solutions to complex production challenges – something noted by everyone she works alongside, such as Quay Street producer Claire Burgess who said:

“When budgets are tight, Liv is the woman I would want in my corner, and she does it all with a smile on her face. She’s got bags of solutions and regularly draws on her amazing experience and connections to get things over the line. She makes it her business to champion the talent in our industry – particularly in the most underrepresented groups. We are lucky to have someone with Liv’s level of passion and creative ideas in our next generation of talent.”
