10 S P R I N G 2 0 2 1 I C A S Q U A R T E R L Y Entertainment Industry Professionals Mentoring Alliance (EIPMA), formed out of the desire of the Motion Picture Sound Editors to honor Paul Rodriguez MPSE, former longtime Board member of the MPSE, who helped and mentored so many entering into the world of sound post-production, and provides expert guidance to young people seeking meaningful and productive careers in the entertainment industry. On March 20, EIPMA is hosting a panel specifically on sound, "Careers in Sound." Panelists will include representatives from many of the EIPMA member organizations, including the Cinema Audio Society, Motion Picture Sound Editors, Sound Girls, and others. This is the beginning of panels that will focus on different career paths in our industry. Look for panels on Music, Picture Editing, Engineering, Visual Effects, Cinematography, and more. We are forming a membership structure that will connect EIPMA with students, graduates, educational institutions, and entertainment companies through a newsletter and new events we hope to present in the near future. Be a part of our mission to help future diverse talent from around the world enter into our industry and find success.
