Oscar-winning actor Eddie Redmayne has been announced as the new ambassador of the film education charity, Into Film, which provides support and inspiration for people interested in seeking a career in film.

Redmayne commented 'I went to the Westminster Academy last year with Into Film and saw first hand the impact that all aspects film can have on young people - the power to inspire, connect and expand our understanding of ourselves and the world around us. 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'.
