All Set West Hub, a new digital platform launched this week, aims to connect local talents with the latest opportunities, events and resources to support their first steps in the screen industry – with West of England creatives interested in working in film and TV production invited to join.
The Hub is part of the BFI National Lottery-funded All Set West package of skills support announced earlier this year, which is helping to “power up careers, grow connections and unlock opportunities behind the camera for entry-level film/TV talent across the West of England”, organisers revealed.
Entrants can now register for a free ‘All Set West Community’ account, to gain access to a range of information to support early career development, including work experience or trainee call-outs, training schemes, networking events, workshops, open days, useful guides, toolkits and directories.
Up-to-date information on the Hub is added by ‘Industry Connectors’, a network of existing production professionals, companies and screen sector organisations who can log in via their own accounts to add relevant opportunities as they arise.
All Set West is funded by the BFI National Lottery Places Fund and delivered by The Bottle Yard Studios, Bristol UNESCO City of Film and Bristol Film Office (the three teams within Bristol City Council’s Film Services) in partnership with the West of England Mayoral Combined Authority.
The wider All Set West package also features: a free training programme delivered at The Bottle Yard Studios designed to prepare local talent from backgrounds currently underrepresented in the industry for entry-level roles on scripted productions (next round of applications opens December 2025); outreach engagement with colleges, universities and community groups in the region to demystify the industry and widen awareness of film/TV production careers; and research analysis into regional industry skills gaps to inform the future strategy for addressing workforce development and retention challenges.
Those interested can register on the All Set West Hub website.
