The deadline for the 2018 edition of Screen’s Stars of Tomorrow - which highlights emerging actors, writers, directors and producers - has been extended until 9am (BST) Monday 4 June.
Any submissions or industry recommendations should be emailed to screenstarsoftomorrow@gmail.com. It is permitted to submit on your own behalf.
Candidates for inclusion in Screen International Stars of Tomorrow should be professional and with a track record, albeit brief, in the film business. They should be UK or Republic of Ireland nationals, and, as this is a young talent portfolio, ideally under the age of 30. All recommendations will be checked in a lengthy vetting process.
Stars of Tomorrow is the film industry’s most successful new talent showcase, with an unrivalled track record for discovering fresh UK and Irish actors and key creatives.
Screen International’s reviews editor and chief film critic Fionnuala Halligan will select 15 actors and 15 directors, writers and producers for a special standalone issue of Screen International, which will be published and distributed in October 2018.
2018 also marks the fourth year of a partnership with the BFI London Film Festival (October 10-21), which will see the new Stars presented as part of its programme of events.
