This year marks five years of partnership between Arts Emergency and Loop Talent, a collaboration dedicated to helping young people from underrepresented backgrounds access careers in film, television and the wider creative industries.
Since launching the initiative in 2021, Loop Talent has opened the doors of its Crew Diary Service to Arts Emergency’s Young Community members, providing trainees with professional representation, industry mentoring, practical guidance and invaluable introductions to working professionals across film and television.
The first cohort welcomed four trainees into the scheme, including three camera trainees and one costume trainee. Alongside access to the diary service, participants were paired with experienced Heads of Department who provided mentorship and opportunities to gain on-set experience as they began building careers in the industry.
Over the years, the partnership has continued to evolve. In 2022, Loop Talent expanded the programme following the success of the inaugural cohort, welcoming new trainees into camera and art department roles while strengthening its mentoring offer. The agency reaffirmed its commitment to creating pathways into an industry where access and representation remain ongoing challenges.
The impact of the scheme can be seen in the careers it has helped launch. Former trainees have gone on to secure industry experience, build professional networks and establish themselves within film and television production, demonstrating the long-term value of sustained support and mentorship.
One such success story is Jade Fabiyi, who joined Loop Talent through the Arts Emergency and Loop Talent collaboration in 2024 and has since progressed from Runner to Production Assistant.
“I joined Loop Talent through the Arts Emergency and Loop Talent collaboration in 2024, and since then I’ve progressed from working as a Runner to becoming a Production Assistant. I’ve loved being part of the service, and I’m grateful for the support Daisy and the wider diary team have given me throughout my journey.
One of my goals has always been to continue levelling up within the industry, and it’s been incredibly encouraging to see that there are genuine opportunities for growth within Loop. Knowing that there is room to progress has motivated me to keep pushing forward.
Since joining, the team have helped me secure work on fantastic productions from films to high end commercial productions. These opportunities have been invaluable in building my experience and confidence and networking.
Being paired with my mentor, Christian, has also been a huge benefit. He has provided me with valuable advice and guidance.
Overall, the support and opportunities I’ve received from Loop Talent have made a real difference to my career.”
Now, in 2026, the partnership continues to thrive. This year’s intake welcomed two new runner trainees, Aisha Alli-Balogun and Rini Chakraborty, while Loop Talent also announced the extension of support for several existing trainees, Alex Teng, Freda Igiogbe and Jade Fabiyi, reflecting the programme’s commitment to nurturing talent beyond a single placement. Participants receive mentoring from established production professionals and access to the agency’s Crew Diary Service, helping them gain visibility and practical experience within the industry.

Intimacy Coordinator Sita Thomas has been mentioned in Hollywood Reporter by ‘Believe Me’ actress Aasiya Shah.
“[Aasiya] Shah shared what it was like working with Sita Thomas, the intimacy coordinator on ‘Believe Me’. “Working with Sita and building that relationship with her, even before we started shooting, really was such a gift,” she said. “We were so lucky to have her because if we had any worries or things that we weren’t comfortable with, that went through Sita. That created a safe bubble.”
The actress also loved that Thomas and a fight coordinator jointly “mapped out what the choreography was going to be before they came in and talked us through. They worked together before coming to speak to me and Danny. We had a couple of chances to rehearse it, get it in our bodies, and then we just did it, and I felt safe. Obviously, I trusted Danny.”
All in all, the setup “just made that experience feel seamless and took the pressure off,” Shah shared. “Because obviously these are key moments, even though they’re very brief and we don’t see too much, but they’re obviously key to our story.””
“[Aimée-Ffion] Edwards highlighted the importance of having intimacy coordinators even for scenes outside the taxi. “What is so brilliant about having an intimacy coordinator is that there’s an acknowledgement that some scenes, and they don’t have to be physical, feel intimate,” she said. “In this case, the examination scenes in lots of ways were actually, I think, more intimate than the stuff in the taxi.””
‘Believe Me’ is available now on ITV, with Costume Design by Zoe Howerska, episodes Edited by Alex Fountain and Intimacy Coordinator Sita Thomas.
