Brian Lynch is a native of New Jersey. Big Helium Dog (1999) was the first feature film that he wrote and directed and despite not yet getting nationwide distribution, it has received tremendous reviews due to its showings at various festivals. The film is primarily a series of sketches which are tied together by a loose plot, in the same vein as The Kentucky Fried Movie (1977).

Since Big Helium Dog, Lynch has worked on various other projects. He was commissioned to write a Muppet Movie for the Jim Henson Company (which fell through), and has written many other scripts which are in various stages of production. Lynch is also writing a brand new television programme for FOX Television called The Paranormals. He also had cameo roles in Kevin Smith's Chasing Amy (1997) and Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back (2001). Even through all the glitz and glamour of writing for Hollywood studios and big name televsion companies, Lynch's pride and joy remains a little comic strip he drew whilst still in college called Angry Naked Pat, a character who takes pleasure in lambasting celebrites and happens to be completely naked from head to toe. Pat went online in mid 2001 and grew at such a healthy rate that not only is there a series of online cartoons for which a DVD release has just been struck but there is also an Angry Naked Pat Movie at an early stage of development. The cartoon and the movie are being animated and directed by the hand of genius and all-round good guy Bob Cesca of CampChaos.com fame. John Balfe
