Britt Harrison is Head of development at the new Film Agency for Wales.
Details of the Film Agency's strategies available here

As Head of Talent for the agency, Harrison's role is to identify and nurture new and emerging filmmaking talent. She will work with writers, directors and producers in the industry to support the development of their skills and projects, offering bespoke advice, specific project feedback and financial investment. Supported by Anneli Jones, who joins the Agency from the Arts Council of Wales, she will be responsible for providing creative input into Agency-funded projects, in order to deliver economic and cultural benefits to the industry and its members.

Harrison brings to the role a practical knowledge of both sides of the commissioning fence, having worked as a freelance script consultant and as in-house Head of Feature Development for Tony Garnetti's World Productions, as well as a Senior Script Executive in Single Drama for the BBC. She has worked with a broad-spectrum of writers and directors, ranging from Oscar winners and nominees such as Franco Zeffirelli, Al Reinert, Hugh Hudson and Jeffrey Caine, to new film-makers exploring their first projects.
