Published Friday, May 23 2008, 16:36 BST | By Dave West
People who have been working in TV for two to four years can take part in the Fast Track. They will be provided with free accommodation, entry to the festival and access to masterclasses with senior professionals.
Jana Bennett, director of BBC Vision and a patron of Fast Track, said: "The excellent Fast Track scheme is designed to help talented people, who have already done the hard part of breaking into the industry, to have the fantastic opportunity to gain access to the top executives in British TV.
"I am involved in Fast Track because one of the best things about my job is watching new talent grow."
The festival and Fast Track run from August 20 to 25.
