Matt Scarff is taking the reins at albert, the BAFTA-owned organization that works with the industry to help it embed climate action and sustainability into its work – on and off screen.
Scarff has taken the Managing Director role on a permanent basis, having been interim boss. “Over the last three months I’ve witnessed the incredible opportunity that BAFTA albert has to create genuine change within the screen industry,” he said. “The appetite for environmental change within the industry is obvious and the strategy we have in place at albert is perfectly placed to help make the changes we need to protect the future of our planet.”
Carys Taylor, former albert boss, has moved to a new role, Director of Climate Content and Sustainability, working across BAFTA and albert to turbo charge climate storytelling across film and TV. She led charge for albert at the recent COP28 climate summit.
