Stellar Network was established in April 2002 in New York by two British filmmakers, Nicola Behrman and Hannah Minghella. It now boasts a membership base of over 400 industry professionals and has spawned a number of thriving collaborations.

In early 2003 Nicola and Hannah recruited a group of up and coming theatre, film and television professionals to work on a similar concept in the UK. Stellar UK launched in March 2004.

Stellar now has an expanded remit, providing a much-needed inter-industry support structure.

We realize success lies in our ability to provide a service shaped by the requirements of the Stellar community. We build our programme in response to the needs articulated by our members.
