Sky Arts boss Phil Edgar-Jones and Netflix’s global production strategy chief have signed up as ambassadors to a charity offering grants to people of colour.
Screen industry talent can apply to the Grand Plan charity, which is offering three £1,000 grants per month for at least its first two years.
Edgar-Jones and Netflix’s Sophie Taitt are two of the ambassadors alongside the likes of former National Theatre artistic director Nicholas Hytner and Dishoom owner Shamil Thakrar.
The charity was co-founded by Marina Diamandis – also known as the singer Marina and the Diamonds – alongside singer/songwriter Tom Rosenthal and former BBC producer Siddharth Khajuria.
