Dornan: Into Film Ambassador, Northern Ireland

In a significant move supporting young filmmakers, renowned actor Jamie Dornan (THE TOURIST, HEART OF STONE) has been appointed as the new Industry Ambassador for Northern Ireland and Patron of Into Film’s Every Child a Filmmaker initiative. This prestigious role marks Dornan’s commitment to nurturing emerging talent in the film industry, particularly focusing on supporting young people from diverse backgrounds.
Dornan expressed deep enthusiasm for his new position, stating, “I hugely admire Into Film’s work with children and young people, and I am excited and honoured to be a new Into Film Ambassador for Northern Ireland and Patron of Into Film’s Every Child a Filmmaker initiative.” His personal mission aligns closely with the organization’s goals – empowering young people to access opportunities within the screen industries and encouraging them to tell their own stories through film.
Into Film’s CEO Fiona Evans highlighted Dornan’s impact, recalling his inspiring presence at the organization’s awards ceremony last June. “I couldn’t be more excited to welcome Jamie Dornan as our new Into Film Ambassador for Northern Ireland,” Evans said, emphasizing the actor’s potential to motivate and support the next generation of filmmakers.
