BAFTA Breakthrough Brits

BAFTA Breakthrough Brits

On Tuesday 7 January 2020 we were delighted to be hosted by Fortnum & Mason for the first Academy Circle event of the new year, with four of our past and present Breakthrough Brits: Alex Lawther, Abubakar Salim, Sarah Brocklehurst and Daniel Lawrence-Taylor in conversation with broadcaster and journalist Miranda Sawyer.

Our Breakthrough panel shared their experiences in the industry so far, from acting to producing to writing comedy. Our Academy Circle Patrons were treated to an inspiring discussion from this talented group that ranged from their own individual projects to their opinions on issues faced in the industry, including diversity and representation and how these must continue to be addressed collectively.   

Academy CirclePatrons were also joined by a number of BAFTA's 2019 scholars including: Gaia Ahuja, Robin Boreham, Millie Farquhar, Jj Fox and Fatuma Odwar.
