20 rising stars from the U.K.'s film, TV and video game industries are set to take part in the British Academy's annual talent scheme.
The British Academy has unveiled 2019's crop of BAFTA Breakthrough Brits, 20 rising names across the U.K.'s film, TV and video games industries now set to take part in its annual talent scheme.
This year in partnership with Netflix for the first time, the latest list includes Laurie Nunn, the creator and showrunner of the streamer's hit series, alongside 18 other actors, directors, producers, editors, writers, and art directors. They follow in the footsteps of previous Breakthrough Brits such as Letitia Wright, Florence Pugh and Josh O'Connor.
Honorees receive one-to-one mentoring and career guidance, as well as access to BAFTA events and networking opportunities in the U.K. and internationally. The new partnership with Netflix is aimed at helping facilitate expansion of the initiative globally, working to identify overseas talent in new territories such as India and the USA.
"We are delighted to announce this year's BAFTA Breakthrough Brits, 20 enormously talented individuals from a wide range of backgrounds, across film, games and television," said BAFTA CEO Amanda Berry. "Since its launch in 2013, BAFTA Breakthrough Brits has championed over 100 talented newcomers and it is wonderful to see what our previous Breakthrough Brits have gone on to achieve.
