Set The Stage is a filmmaking programme created by EE in partnership with BAFTA, designed to nurture and empower young talent.
The programme gives sixteen young filmmakers a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to produce a short film under the mentorship of BAFTA nominated actress Daisy Edgar-Jones, EE Rising Star Award 2025 winner, David Jonsson, Young Film Academy and a crew of award-winning industry experts across various roles.
Our teens created their first film titled "Setting Sail", that explores the themes of "Growing Up in Britain Today". Following Hannah, and her younger self, Peanut, on a nostalgic treasure hunt. Featuring a cast that includes actress Carol Ball, Setting Sail will premiere in early 2026.

BAFTA, the British Academy of Film and Television Arts, is a world-leading independent arts charity.
In addition to the awards ceremonies, BAFTA offers a year-round international programme with learning events and initiatives. These events give access to the world’s most inspiring talent through workshops, masterclasses, lectures, scholarships and mentoring.
