Warner Bros. have announced Creed director Ryan Coolger as their first ever Creative Talent Ambassador in the UK.
Coolger got his start through a similar programme in the US, with the Time Warner Foundation in partnership with Sundance Institute helping to develop his first movie Fruitvale Station — so it’s pretty great to see him giving something back. It’s also pretty cool to see it happening in the UK. Participants on the Warner Bros. Creative Talent will get funiding and training across the UK film and TV industry.
“Having experienced firsthand the support and impact of programs similar to Warner Bros. Creative Talent, it is fantastic to know that passionate young people of all backgrounds are being given the chance to follow their dreams here in the Uk,” Coogler said. “This can be a tough industry, and so we need to do what we can to bring talented young people into it.”
