Breakthrough Brits is Back!
|
|
BAFTA, in partnership with Burberry, is looking for the next generation of British talent in Film, TV and Games. If you’re working professionally in these industries and making a name for yourself in your chosen field – or you know someone who is – then we want to hear from you.
|
|
Up to 20 talented newcomers will be selected by a stellar industry Jury to take part in this year-long mentoring and guidance programme, kicking off with an evening reception at Burberry’s Regent Street flagship store and a day of in-depth career guidance and mentoring from leading industry figures at BAFTA headquarters. BAFTA supports each Breakthrough Brit by working with them to tailor a programme of support, mentoring and career development. Successful Breakthrough Brits will also receive non-voting membership of BAFTA for a year, giving them free access to BAFTA events and screenings and to our members’ space at 195 Piccadilly.

Applicants in Film and Television
|
|
You will have been involved with a piece of work that has been, or will be, theatrically released in the UK or broadcast on a UK television channel between August 2013 and August 2014. In addition, your first lead or head of department role on a production will be completed by August 2014. One project might fulfil both of these criteria.
|
|
Your lead or head of department role is expected to be on a feature film or broadcast television programme. The Academy will consider shorts, commercials, online programmes and music videos as supporting material for your application.
|
|
Applicants in Games
|
|
You will have been involved with a piece of work that has been, or will be, released or published in the UK between August 2013 and August 2014. In addition, the project on which you undertook your first lead or impactful role will be in a playable state by August 2014. One project might fulfil both of these criteria.
|
|
In other words, we would like to hear from people who have made a real difference to the successful completion of a project and who are making a name for themselves in games. This may include more junior team members who have demonstrated exceptional promise and gone above and beyond to drive the success of a project.
