Michael B. Jordan Discusses Being An Ambassador For Sprite Films (+ How You Can Get Involved!)

We’ve all had our eyes on actor Michael B. Jordan for some time now, heightened tremendously in 2013 when he starred as Oscar Grant in the extremely powerful and critically acclaimed film, Fruitvale Station. The star of the upcoming Fantastic Four movie (coming June 2015) has been pretty busy this year, filming for F4, acting alongside Zac Efron and Miles Teller in one 2014’s funniest comedies, That Awkward Moment, and partnering with Sprite as their 2014 Sprite Films student filmmaker mentor and program ambassador. In his role, Mike has helped to mentor a handful of undergrad and graduate aspiring filmmakers, who’ve collectively produced 6 50-second films for the Sprite Films program – one of which will ultimately win and go on to run in select theaters nationwide in August (with MBJ starring in the trailer) – and YOU can help choose who wins! View the films and vote for your favorite video now here. Voting ends TODAY so get to it! IFWT recently chopped it up with Michael, and got the inside scoop on his partnership with the Sprite Films challenge, as well some pearls of wisdom Michael shared with the contestants…and that he himself has received from the likes of Oprah, Forrest Whitaker and more! Check out what he had to say below.
