'Flynn's reputation is renowned for its originality, creativity & diverse directing talent.
We produce engaging and ground breaking films that never lose sight of their product'


Whilst looking for information on Sam Brown (the deirector of jay-z 'onto the next one video') i came across the company he works for called 'FLYNN'
Its a company set up by mary caldwood in 1998 who was 'on the pursuit of developing and original and creative film company'. It is made up of over 15 directors and designers from award winners to the cutting edge in Uk talent. I was really suprised when i found out they were british since they do so much big work, i kind of naively assumed they would be american aha.
'FLYNN create content on all platforms: live action, animation, photography and design work across the board' and have worked on briefs from Jay-z & the Foo fighters all the way to Smirnoff, Kiss & the BBC.



Having a brief look through the work they show on their site im really inspired by all of the different artists and they definitely have a wide range of people from people who produce extremely sharp looking styled videos with a strong reputation behind them all the way to (to my surprise) a young uk director called 'Mo' who produces alot of the best uk underground videos, so theres a wide range of talent and styles there.
Ive been trying to look for an 'in house style' but i really cant define one because their work is so broad and different form each director.
This would be a place i would love to work for when i leave university and even now, so im thinking of emailing them to see if during the same they take people on for work experience etc. it'd be a sick opportunity.
Once i get some smart questions down aswell i might send an email asking if i can do an interview for the blog which i think would be nuts.
Anyways heres there site...

I wanted ot post up some videos but i could barely find them on vimeo so i'll leave it
& get to bed considering ive got a 2 hour context lecture in less than 7 hours?
