The entertainment industry continues to miss out on “incredible voices from marginalised and oppressed communities”, the multi award-winning writer and actor Michaela Coel has warned as she prepares to take on a new mentoring role for upcoming film-makers.
Coel’s HBO/BBC comedy-drama I May Destroy You was the most critically acclaimed television programme of 2020. Often referred to as “one of the UK’s most influential women”, she will take a lead role in the new BMW Filmmaking Challenge being launched in partnership with the BFI, offering advice to five shortlisted film-makers.
