In 2022, BAFTA Elevate focuses on a select group of producers from under-represented groups - minority ethnic backgrounds, disabled and low socio-economic backgrounds - seeking to progress across scripted and unscripted in both film and television. This industry-level professional development and leadership programme puts a spotlight on talent, offers the opportunity for networks to be strengthened and gives space for the challenges faced to be met with accessible support and mentoring. This edition of BAFTA Elevate will run for 24 months.
