Pritan Ambroase walks the red carpet ahead of the 'Wormwood' screening during the 74th Venice Film Festival at Sala Giardino on September 6, 2017 in Venice, Italy.
Pritan Ambroase, originally from Kent in England, continues to be globally praised for combining entertainment, philanthropy and education to further humanitarianism to unite people all over the world. He is a media-entrepreneur, producer, film director, writer, motivational speaker, talk show host and philanthropist who actively and physically takes part in human rights activism across all borders. He is the CEO/editor-in-chief of Hollywood Insider - a media network. It is under his leadership that the network transformed into what it is today. The re-engineered Hollywood Insider with his guidance, fully focuses on substance and meaningful entertainment, so as to utilize media as a tool to unite and better our world, by combining entertainment, education and philanthropy, while being against gossip and scandal and catering equally to the masses and individuals/small communities alike, global stories from its own local perspective.

Alongside his career in entertainment and media, Ambroase continues to be a passionate humanitarian and a constant human rights activist/advocate. At the age of 19, he started the Humans of our World Foundation that has helped issues in over 185 countries. He named it that specific name as he wanted humans all over the world to unite regardless of mental/political/physical borders. His foundation's official supporters are heavyweights such as Dame Judi Dench, Adrien Brody, Joanna Lumley, Amanda Holden, Bear Grylls, Andy Serkis etc. The foundation actively supports over 32 causes.

Ambroase has also previously been honored by the most prestigious Venice Film Festival and has made multiple official appearances at the festival, he wholeheartedly supports VFF as it aligns with his own values. VFF brings together a world of talent and artists in the name of cinema regardless of political borders and that is exactly what Ambroase is passionate about.

Pritan moved from Kent, England to California for college, although his schooling from elementary to high school was completed in over 11 different schools - 6 of which were boarding schools, in 7 different countries, 3 different continents, and multiple cities. He was 5 years old when he was first enrolled into elite boarding schools. He credits his humanitarian values to his diverse schooling and global upbringing, which immersed him in a variety of cultures, languages, religions, lifestyles and perspectives which according to him, has left him with no choice but to unite humans all over the world as there are more similarities than differences.

Ambroase began public speaking at the young age of 8, and by 14 he was seen acting as Master Of Ceremonies for events hosted by the leader of the Conservative Party, Lord Michael Howard, in United Kingdom. After garnering multiple awards for acting and writing plays for the stage as well as well radio, he was discovered by his talent agent. A radio play written by Ambroase on the life of Archbishop of Canterbury, Thomas A Becket, won the Best Radio Play award, in which he also voiced the lead role of Becket.

In theatre, Pritan won accolades and received multiple standing ovations for playing complex lead roles in the dramatic genre. His first ever audition landed him a starring role on a primetime series after impressing the director who thought he was a veteran. After his first TV show, he went back to complete high school as education was important to him. 2005 saw Pritan completing his second script at 17 years old, although he had written his first script at 12 years old. At 19, he became the youngest person in England to be funded, by National Lottery programs such as Unltd and Big Boost, to direct a film. Pritan acted as the lead as well as the director with an international cast and crew. Pritan's performance as a blind teenager won accolades and the film went on to be showcased at Cannes Film Festival 2007, and was critically acclaimed. After Cannes, the film was also showcased at the Edinburgh Film Festival in 2007. 2006 also saw Pritan establish his personal philanthropic foundation HUMANS OF OUR WORLD, at the age of 19, and his goal was to combine entertainment, philanthropy and education to unite the world, regardless of segregation and differences, and make the world a better place. As an initiative of his foundation, for his first film, Pritan also hired local underprivileged youths to work on the film in various crew roles and help them get more experience. In the past decade, his foundation has helped millions of people in over 185 countries.

Against his agent's advice due to multiple offers from directors and producers in USA and UK, Pritan chose to attend college in California instead and paused his acting career for the time being. Upon graduation from his college in California, Pritan went on to spread education of peace globally by working for a non-profit organization in England. He also joined his family group of companies and was appointed as President of a group of companies.

After several years as President of his group of companies, due to his heart always being in media and entertainment, since 2017, Pritan has been fully involved in the entertainment industry and has already hosted multiple shows. Shows such as MAKE YOURSELF GREAT AGAIN, UP CLOSE & PERSONAL, POWERFUL QUESTIONS has seen Pritan show his range as host from inspirational and deep topics topics to ones with comedic timing. Pritan also produced, directed and hosted MESSAGES FROM AMERICA, a show which gave a voice to everyday civilians in America and showed to the world what people in USA think on important topics such as immigration, refugees, religion, human rights, presidency, education, healthcare, etc - the world usually only hears what American politicians and presidents think - this series which has been going for two seasons has shown to the world that civilians Americans have their own mind too that may be different to their politicians.

After making multiple appearances at Venice Film Festival, Pritan praised the institution for uniting the world through art, cinema and talent regardless of political borders and segregation, a quality which aligns with Pritan's humanitarian values and his foundation Humans Of Our World. Pritan is a regular on the front rows of New York Fashion Week, red carpet movie premieres and has served as face and spokesperson for multiple high profile luxury brands.

Since 2018, Pritan has been seen as host for multiple shows for Hollywood Insider. Along with him and his foundation partnering with high-profile stars and Hollywood Insider on a humanitarian campaign - he is also producing and directing the documentary and also the initiative which provides assistance to villagers in Nepal, Africa, South America, etc with the partnership of celebrities such as Dame Judi Dench, Adrien Brody, Joanna Lumley, Amanda Holden, Bear Grylls, Andy Serkis, etc. Dame Judi Dench's belief in the work of Pritan's foundation Humans Of Our World has led her to personally finance and donate to their Nepal campaign which has helped remotest villages in Nepal with medical care.

Ambroase continues on with his passion for cinema, entertainment and media and he utilizes his media network Hollywood Insider to make the world a better place by utilizing it to focus on substance and meaningful matters. Ambroase remarks, "When artists, cinema, media, positive intention and humanitarianism combine into one that creates a beautiful symphony of love, loyalty and unity which vibrates across the highest walls."

    • Quotes
      [on his philanthropic efforts and what inspires, in an interview in 2016] I want the foundation I started "Humans of our World" to belong to everyone. Mahatma Gandhi said, "Be the change you want to see in the world", but I modified that statement and made it about each of us UNITED. Thus, "Humans of our World: We are the change we want to see in the world". Unity is the MOST important. Boundaries, prejudices and segregations can be easily removed when we learn to focus on hearts, compassion and unity. There are more similarities than differences, let's just focus on those major similarities and unite regardless of the little differences. Once we start with the change for the better as individuals ourselves, then we can do it as groups, then the world as a community.
