Welcome to BAFTA Brits to Watch, an initiative set up in 2011 between BAFTA and our Academy branch in Los Angeles. The project aims to bring together the best of British emerging talent, on-screen and off-screen, with many of the world's most talented and influential people in film, television and video games.
