British actor John Boyega has partnered with Converse to launch the Create Next Film Project, which is an extension of the Converse All Stars Programme, and hopes to 'nurture a new generation of rising Black filmmakers in London'.

The Red, White and Blue star will work alongside five London filmmakers on the project, and commented 'I approached Converse with a desire to start a domino effect in creating opportunities. Black talent is underrepresented in the film industry, and I’ve always wanted to create pathways for young talent. This partnership with Converse is the first step in me trying to address that'.
