Eddie Redmayne isn't just a great actor, he's also a great person, too.

Into Film is a British educational charity that runs film-based programmes for children aged five to nineteen. It was founded in 2013 following the merging of FILMCLUB and First Light, two charities interested in using film as an educational tool for learning.

The charity does a massive amount of work across the UK, and is responsible for running the world's largest youth film festival. The festival in question hosts thousands of free cinema screenings and workshops for five to nineteen year-olds every year.

In August 2014, Eddie Redmayne was appointed Into Film's English ambassador, alongside Michael Sheen, the charity's Welsh ambassador and Sir Kenneth Branagh, the charity's Northern Irish ambassador. It's nice to know that, despite his amazing success, Redmayne enjoys encouraging and supporting others.
