Breakthrough Brits

Breakthrough Brits is a programme to honour some of Britain's best new creatives in film, television, and gaming. The programme was originally run by the now shuttered UK Film Council.^[1] It was then launched under BAFTA in 2013. There are also international categories under BAFTA Breakthrough.

The program was designed to celebrate the new British film-making talent. The 2008 programme ended in a special event in Los Angeles, compered by Nigel Lythgoe, on 5 June where honourees were presented to an audience of Hollywood industry figures.^{[citation needed]}
