John Boyega joins Converse's All Stars program

John Boyega and All Stars Program

John Boyega, a British actor best known for playing the character of Finn in the Star Wars sequels, just took part in the All Stars program launched by Converse about a year ago.

Thanks to this initiative, the Converse brand has managed to create a community of emerging artists and creatives who support each other to progress and establish themselves in the fashion industry or in the film industry. Here, in addition to great talents in the field of design, young directors and actors put in contact with each other also join the program.

Boyega says he also approached Converse to enhance young black talents who are often underrepresented. John, in line with the claim of All Stars program Create Next, will work alongside 5 directors (Ade Femzo, Kaylen Francis, Kemi Anna Adeeko, Lorraine Khamali and Ibrahim Muhammad) in the creation of short films lasting about five minutes.

The project, which was advertised a few days ago by Boyega himself on his Instragram profile, demonstrates how inclusive and open a fashion brand can be, becoming a real beacon for young emerging talents.
