Reapers Shadow announces Johnny Lynch to be 2nd Assistant Director.

’Reapers Shadow’ – An adventure, thriller, horror all thrown into one package. Totally neutral gender for men and women alike.

Gives me great pleasure to announce after being appointed producer in charge of crewing up for this feature film starting soon, that as of a meeting that took place yesterday I was made the 2nd Assistant Director for the 4million pound production ‘Reapers Shadow’

Society has gone to Hell. And as the collapse spreads, Jon Maitland is building a wall. A wall that cost him his family. As the world implodes, Baker has become abandoned and lost in this new world. Maitland needs out, Baker wants out, does Lattimer hold the Key to the ‘Reapers Shadow’?

Reapers Shadow is a surreal tale of Post Apocalyptic England. It is a sordid tale of tortured souls, infusing sex and violence into a clever thriller within which good and evil battle.

So how do I feel? Well am delighted by the appointment by writer Joseph Sultana and director Phil Howard I have worked in many a production office or sometimes when we haven’t had an office and had to make do with just the mobile canteen but what I have seen, and worked with is some of the best Assistant Directors in the business, I have always admired such people who take on the role of 2nd AD and although its not something I aspired to do myself for many years its strange how our goals in life change, I will keep doing the extras of that I have no doubt but I see this as an opportunity to build myself a better career in a business and industry that’s been so generous to me, I just want to do the best job I can from the knowledge I have gained with working sitting behind some of the best”

Steve is probably best known for directing 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' but comes from a docudrama background having directed a host of musicians such as David Bowie, Michael Jackson and Madonna Steve also directed one of my little known guilty pleasures, a film called 'Electric Dreams' in 1984 of which i know at the very mention of the name can have me humming the title track.

BAFTA is to screen ‘All about Janet’

A short film we supplied the extras to ‘All about Janet’ directed by Phil Howard will be having its premiere in November, The film shot in London and Birmingham is a short starring the extremely talented Valarie Monk and whom we have known and first came aware of about 3 years ago.

We would like to wish the film the success it deserves and my best wishes to the cast and crew and can’t wait to catch up with you at the premiere of the 22nd November.

Also am pleased to say that the sequel to the film is in preproduction and our very own Johnny Lynch’s  landed a role playing Gary, Similar to his character in ‘Terror Nation’ he’s brutal but not as psychotic as Paul Milland where violence was never far from his mind. When asked Johnny Lynch said that “I remember well what it took to get into the mind of that character, Gary whose violence comes from his necessity to feed his drug habit and is hell bent on destruction for short term gains. I will be giving the character all I can muster to give a performance I can look back and be proud off”

‘All about Janet’ will be released in November.

Sent to prison for force feeding a judge his own ‘syrup’ Danny Senior was a legend and Danny is looking for a way to emulate his father’s achievements and rise to be “top boy.” Meanwhile, in Wormwood Scrubs prison, legendary football hooligan Dex is about to be released. Dex is on a quest of his own, one of vengeance against his nemesis and rival firm leader The Baron. But when Danny and Dex’s paths cross, they embark on a journey as old as hooliganism itself.
