Film Locos Hub addresses the dual challenges of representation and role-specific industry needs. Many in our community lack the information and resources to enter the industry. And those who are already in don’t seem to know where others like us work. We basically do not see ourselves represented.
By providing these assets, we aim to empower Global Majority British crew members and demonstrate that they can achieve their dreams.
The Project has the support of The Film and TV Charity and it is part of the Reel Impact Initiative.
How are we planning to achieve this?
Masterclasses
We are hosting six expert-led masterclasses to equip our community with the knowledge and skills needed to advance their careers in the film and TV industry.
These sessions will cover Producing, Post-Production Coordination, Distribution, Music, and Accountancy—key areas where industry opportunities are growing.
Many already have the talent to secure industry roles, and with the right guidance, success is within reach.
Networking Events
We’re hosting six dynamic networking events where our community can connect, collaborate, and meet industry professionals. These events will showcase work from creatives in the global majority, strengthen industry connections, and spark new opportunities—all infused with Film Locos’ signature style, featuring music and emerging artists.
