About This Project
Summary
Be In The Biz is a national outreach program that exports the insights of Hollywood operatives to remote environs of secondary and tertiary media markets filled with creative storytellers. Recognizing the non-geographic and aspirational significance of “Hollywood,” the NAACP Hollywood Bureau will convene local confabs, designed to provide valuable information to burgeoning communities of content creators across the nation.
Goals & Objectives
The Be In The Biz symposium features Hollywood leaders in panels, a keynote lunch, and networking. It aims to build a national network, making Hollywood accessible to underrepresented creatives by connecting them with resources, opportunities, and a platform to share their stories.
Results & Impact
We have activated Be In The Biz in Philadelphia, New Orleans and Charlotte, NC with overwhelming success. Speakers from our vast network of industry professionals shared insights, made connections & inspired attendees. We formed affiliate networks to stay connected, informed & share opportunities.
