EE x Bafta - Set The Stage

Set The Stage is a filmmaking programme created by EE in partnership with BAFTA, designed to nurture and empower young talent.

As Creative Manager at EE, I led the social-first storytelling that brought the project to life on socials.

What I did:

- Captured the journey from launch event to residential filming with dynamic wrap-up content

- Interviewed key talent, including 2025 EE Rising Star winner David Jonsson and BAFTA award winning programme mentors

- Directed and shaped the official documentary trailer

- Built a fun, personality-led social series with the young filmmakers to deepen audience connection

The output

🎬✨ It’s official. Last week 16 young creatives started their journey to making a short film. Follow along to witness magic in the making. #SetTheStage
