Is anyone aware of a dedicated site or resource that specifically lists people of colour involved in film and TV production such as directors, technicians, creatives, producers especially in the U.K.?

Hi Martin. Both DandI (http://dandi.org.uk/) and Film London's Equal Access Network (http://filmlondon.org.uk/industry/equal-access) cast a wide net for under-represented ABL and BTL talent (e.g. people of colour) and are used by many production companies looking for UK crew. Defo look into them.

Hi Martin,
You can also try the BFI, which has a register.
https://www.bfi.org.uk/
And Creative Diversity Network, who will have appropriate contacts.
https://creativediversitynetwork.com/
Come back to me if you need any further leads.

Directors UK offer a search function where you can specifically search for Directors of colour, women directors or BAME. It works, I was found and hired via the same.

Also Free The Work has people of colour/ color and other under-represented groups, as well loads of women https://freethework.com/. We've got a directory of activist organisations which might also be useful https://www.shiny.network/networks#3 for related searches. All best
