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.
The Be In The Biz day-long symposia will feature Hollywood thought leaders in panel discussions, a keynote luncheon, and networking reception. The NAACP Hollywood Bureau will utilize the program to develop a nationwide network of affiliates, establishing open channels of dialogue and information exchange.
This program seeks to find talent where they live. Our intention is to make “Hollywood” accessible to creatives across the country. Under-represented communities have compelling stories to tell, and many in those communities have skills to match, but need assistance in finding resources and connections. Be In The Biz seeks to fulfill that need.
