ScreenCraft Works, a new virtual community, has revealed a mentoring scheme for under-represented production and post-production talent to enhance their careers via international connections.

The ScreenCraft Works International Mentoring Scheme will provide structured career development for marginalized craft talent, matching a mentee with a mentor from a different country, to share knowledge and experience, widen employment and peer-to-peer networks and bring new cultural perspectives to local and international productions, virtually.

Elizabeth McIntyre, former CEO and festival director of the U.K.’s Sheffield Doc/Fest and Rebecca del Tufo, previously programmer at independent community cinema Saffron Screen, are co-directors of the scheme.

McIntyre and del Tufo said: “With new, dynamic flexible-working and virtual production cultures, ScreenCraft Works aims to widen access to healthy career development in those craft roles which can be conducted remotely and internationally. Our mentoring scheme will support marginalized talent at all career stages, celebrating the diversity of creative and technical expertise.
