Welcome 2026 Arts Emergency Trainees

By News

After another successful year with our Arts Emergency Trainees, we are pleased to continue our collaboration with Arts Emergency for 2026.

As part of this partnership, we are proud to provide young individuals from diverse and underrepresented communities with an opportunity to break into the industry. These individuals receive mentorship in their preferred department, along with a subscription to the Crew Diary service as trainees.

This year, we have welcomed two individuals as Runners, Rini Chakraborty and Aisha Alli-Balogun who are eager to gain on-set experience.

Rini’s mentor will be Production Manager Liv Taylor.

Aisha’s mentor will be 1st Assistant Director Sam Roffey.

In light of the many disappointing statistics surrounding diversity, inclusion, and the support of working-class young people in the industry, we are proud to dedicate our energy to this initiative for another year.

To continue nurturing the next generation of talent, we have extended the scheme for Costume Assistant Alex Teng,  Art Department Assistant Freda Igiogbe and PA Jade Fabiyi indefinitely.

Please get in touch with Crew Manager Daisy if you would like to book any of our trainees.

How does A Crew Diary Service work?

By News

How does A Crew Diary Service work?

As Loop Talent Crew has grown with the new addition of Jonny Mountague our new Diary Service Associate, we’ve put together this handy blog to explain what a Diary Service is.

What is a Crew Diary Service? 

A Crew Diary Service is a specialised diary management service that helps busy crew working in HETV, Film, Commercials and Promos manage their availability, bookings and enquiries and helps provide a significant boost to their industry visibility. We have built up a strong roster on our diary service over the years, so our diary service is a reliable point of contact for productions when looking for crew. 

 

Increasing your visibility and reach 

Joining a diary service allows a dedicated team to keep everything nice and organised for you, tracking your bookings and availability whilst  helping expand your professional reach. This ensures that not only your diary is being managed but your profile is getting more exposure within the industry. 

  • Direct Exposure: When productions contact us looking for specific role/skills, we put forward suitable crew who are on our roster.  
  • New Opportunities: You could be put forward for enquiries/projects that might not have reached your inbox if not. 
  • Industry Credibility: Being on a trusted diary service signals to the industry/productions that you are a reliable and trusted crew member. To maintain this standard, we always vet our potential new joiners by checking references from senior crew or HODs that the potential joiner has previously worked with. 

While being on a diary service provides a strong platform for your career, it is important to note that it is not a guarantee of work. We provide the admin support/organisation and increased visibility, but the diary service best works as a collaborative effort between the diary service team and the freelancer. 

 

Navigating Pencils and Availability 

Managing pencils can be a tedious task when you are a busy freelancer. A diary service takes care of tracking and managing your availability and upcoming pencils 

  • Pencil System: The pencil system is how we manage provisional bookings. We always book in 2nd pencils for our clients to ensure that no potential work is missed, we never move forward without our clients input and would always check with the freelancer that they are happy to take a 1st pencil before confirming 
  • Conflict Resolution: We communicate with productions to clear dates and resolve schedule clashes. 
  • Booking Confirmation: We ensure all details are confirmed in writing so you can walk onto set with total peace of mind. 

Supporting Your Career Growth 

With the expansion of our team, including our new  Diary Service Associate, Loop Talent Crew is more equipped than ever to champion our crew. Our diary service helps to provide the professional visibility and organisational support you need to thrive in a competitive industry. 

In the Loop Community 

We like to keep things “in the loop” by actively introducing our HODs to our crew on the diary service within their respective departments. We host regular companywide events that allow our roster to network and build relationships. Additionally, we provide masterclasses to support upskilling, ensuring our crew can continue to develop during quieter periods in the industry

Intimacy co-ordinators ‘an absolute necessity’, say Believe Me creatives

Intimacy co‑ordinators were described as “an absolute necessity” by the creative team behind ITV drama Believe Me, in a recent interview in Broadcast. The comments underline the growing recognition of the role in supporting cast wellbeing.

Believe Me, produced by ITV Studios for ITV, featured intimacy coordination as a core part of its approach to on‑set care. Loop Talent Intimacy Co‑ordinator Sita Thomas worked on the production as Lead Intimacy Co‑ordinator, collaborating closely with the creative and production teams to support performers and ensure a clear, respectful process around intimate material.

Speaking to Broadcast, the creators of Believe Me emphasised the importance of prioritising wellbeing on set, reinforcing the value of intimacy co‑ordinators as an integral part of modern production practice.

Loop Talent represents Intimacy Co‑ordinators working across film, high end television and commercials, supporting productions with experienced practitioners who bring clarity, structure and care to complex and sensitive material.

A Reintroduction to Loop Talent

A UK Based Below the Line Agency Representing Film and Television Crew

Loop Talent is a UK based below the line agency and crew diary service representing film and television crew. We work with Heads of Department across film, high end television, commercials and music promos, supporting both productions and the clients we represent with clarity, care and long term thinking.

As the industry continues to change, so does the way people search for and discover agencies. This felt like the right moment to clearly restate who we are, what we do, and how we work.

Alongside agency representation, we also operate a crew diary service, helping Producers, Line Producers and Production Managers crew projects efficiently and confidently.


What does a below the line agency do?

A below the line agency represents film and television crew rather than on screen talent. This includes Heads of Department and specialist roles who are essential to the creative and practical delivery of a production.

As a below the line agency, Loop Talent focuses on:

  • Career representation for Heads of Department
  • Contract negotiation and deal support
  • Clear communication between crew and production
  • Long term career development rather than short term booking

We work closely with each client we represent, taking the time to understand their goals, strengths and working style.

  • Production Managers

  • 1st Assistant Directors
  • Intimacy Coordinators

We also work with a trusted network of crew through our diary service, supporting productions at every scale.


A crew first approach

Loop Talent is known for a crew first approach. We believe strong working relationships, clear communication and realistic expectations are essential to sustainable careers in film and television.

Every client we represent is supported individually, with care and attention given to both creative ambition and practical working conditions.


Supporting productions

For Producers, Line Producers and Production Managers, Loop Talent offers clear and efficient access to experienced crew.

We understand the pressures of production and work practically to:

  • Recommend crew suited to the scale and tone of the project
  • Support fair and transparent negotiations
  • Maintain clear communication throughout the process

Our aim is always to make crewing feel straightforward, considered and collaborative.


Based in the UK, working nationally and internationally

Loop Talent is a UK based below the line agency working with clients across London, Wales, Scotland and the wider UK. We also support clients working internationally across film, television and commercial projects.

Our understanding of regional production, alongside national and international work, allows us to support a broad range of projects while remaining grounded in the realities of production.


Working with Loop Talent

Whether you are a Producer crewing a project, or a Head of Department looking for representation, Loop Talent offers a considered and human approach to agency representation and crew support.

We believe in long term careers, sustainable working practices and clear communication at every stage.
