Eddie Redmayne named ambassador of film education charity
Oscar-winning actor Eddie Redmayne has been named an ambassador of British movie education charity Into Film.
The Theory of Everything star attended an event at a London school last year (14) to help launch the organisation, which promotes the use of films as an education tool and helps youngsters pursue a career in the industry.
Speaking of his new role, Redmayne says, "I went to the Westminster
Academy last year with Into Film and saw firsthand the impact that
all aspects of film can have on young people - the power to
inspire, connect and expand our understanding of ourselves and the
world around us.
"I absolutely loved the day. It was wonderful to meet so many
young, galvanized people who were all keen to find out more about
the filmmaking process. I hope through being an ambassador for Into
Film I am able to help raise awareness of how film can contribute
to their cultural and creative lives."
