Introducing the Impact Producer Accelerator Cohort

Storytelling can shape culture and inspire real-world change. The stories we see on screen don’t just entertain – they influence how we think, what we talk about and how we act. Impact Producers play a vital role in this process, working behind the scenes to ensure powerful stories connect with audiences in ways that lead to meaningful, lasting impact.

That’s why we’re proud to introduce the first cohort of the Impact Producer Accelerator Programme, developed in collaboration with Together Films. This industry-focused, hands-on programme is designed to support and elevate the next generation of Impact Producers across the UK, equipping them with the tools, strategies and creative confidence to design bold and effective social impact campaigns for film & TV. 

Through a series of immersive workshops, expert-led sessions and valuable networking opportunities, the cohort will explore how impact can be embedded at every stage of the storytelling process – ensuring projects resonate with audiences long after the credits roll. 

We’re excited to support this inspiring group as they develop their practice, collaborate with peers and help shape a future of what impact storytelling can achieve.
