In today's episode, I'm joined by Mariayah Kaderbhai, Head of Programmes at BAFTA. While you all may know BAFTA for the awards ceremony, it's also a membership organisation and charity that supports, develops, and promotes the arts of film, television and video games in the UK. BAFTA also has an international programme of events and initiatives offering access to talent through workshops, masterclasses, scholarships, lectures, and mentoring schemes in the United Kingdom and the United States. In this episode, we talk about Mariayah's career beginnings at the BFI and Al Jazeera English, she also shares her advice for interviewing film stars and documentary filmmakers as well as what BAFTA offers for those interested in working in the film industry, and much more, Links for information mentioned in podcast: Podcast: Countdown To The BAFTAs | BAFTA BAFTA Connect Membership | BAFTA About BAFTA Membership | BAFTA Job Vacancies | BAFTA BAFTA - Opportunities @ Creative Access Disclaimer: podcast episodes are recorded on Zoom therefore the audio quality may reflect this.
