We are absolutely thrilled to have won: Best Screen Acting Agency 2018 in the Global Entertainment Awards.

LIGHTS. CAMERA. ACTION!

The agency was established in 2013 predominantly to showcase newly trained talent from the Yorkshire Academy of Film & Television Acting, however, after building a good reputation we received a number of requests from actors wishing to be represented by YAFTA and therefore decided to open our books to all.

We represent a diverse range of actors for all types of screen work including feature films, short films, music videos, TV drama, soaps, commercials and corporate work.
