‘It Ends With Us’: Justin Baldoni’s Wayfarer Studios Partners With Nonprofit No More to Provide Resources for Survivors of Abuse (EXCLUSIVE)
variety.comKatcy Stephan Justin Baldoni‘s production company Wayfarer Studios is partnering with the No More Foundation to provide resources and information related to the abuse depicted in Baldoni’s latest film, “It Ends With Us.” Through an end card running in the film’s credits, and a dedicated page on their website, No More aims to offer survivors of domestic and sexual violence (and their loved ones) easy access to help.
Most notably, the No More Global Directory connects people to support services in the U.S. and 200 countries and territories around the world.
Sony’s film adaptation of Colleen Hoover’s megahit novel of the same name follows florist Lily Bloom (Blake Lively) as she falls in love with Ryle Kincaid (Justin Baldoni), a charismatic neurosurgeon.
While their relationship begins as a whirlwind fairytale, Lily soon finds herself swept into the same pattern of domestic abuse she saw her mother endure. “Wayfarer Studios has an ambitious mission: We aspire to create projects that are both commercial and truly make a difference in the lives of our viewers,” said Wayfarer co-founder and “It Ends With Us” star Baldoni, who also directed the film. “We’ve partnered with No More because we want to ensure that Wayfarer Studios projects, specifically those that address domestic and sexual violence and abuse, are made with purpose and the intention to educate, support and ultimately provide resources for viewers who may see themselves via their current situation on screen.” Also available for survivors is “The Lighthouse,” a comprehensive guide to recognize the signs of abuse, obtain critical resources to break the pattern in their own lives and find inspiration and empowerment.
