Ryan Reynolds Unveils Diversity Initiative
Ryan Reynolds took to Twitter to announce a new initiative supporting aspiring filmmakers from unrepresented communities.In a two-minute video, the actor acknowledged that despite its collaborative work, the film industry continues to leave out certain voices.“Making a movie, well it’s a group effort,” he said.
“But for entirely too long, that group has systematically excluded Black, Indigenous, people of color and a whole host of other marginalized communities.”Reynolds, 46, shared his commitment to providing opportunities for those from Bipoc and other unrepresented communities.
He also emphasized that people of all ages can apply for his Group Effort Initiative.“So here’s what we’re gonna do.
Covid willing, which is a weird thing to say, I’m going to be starting a movie this fall,” he said.
“And I’m committed to bringing between 10 and 20 trainees from the Bipoc community and all other marginalized communities of all ages.
