The summit brought together the HBCU community and the entertainment industry for the very first time. They welcomed HBCU presidents, faculty, community leaders, and students to the Hollywood community. The four-day conference consisted of seminars, panel discussions, screenings, and other industry-related events. The purpose is to expand the industry's knowledge of HBCUs and vice versa. This important platform allows the HBCU community and our industry partners to share and engage, while highlighting the critical role HBCUs can play as centers for diversity in building a pipeline of talent for work in today's global creative economy. Once COVID-19 is behind us, future convening will be in-person as part of our traditional "HBCU in LA: Hollywood Welcome Week" events. For further information about the Entertainment Industry College Outreach Program, please visit their website at eicop.org Thank you to all who have generously donated their time by volunteering and participating in our panels, webinars, and speed-mentoring sessions. We are truly making a difference for all of those students and individuals interested in a career in entertainment. It's so important as an entertainment community to engage our future talent. We can't change the world, but we can make sure that our knowledge gained is passed along to the next generation of talented filmmakers.

He is now happily retired, probably listening to Pet Sounds by the Beach Boys and has no interest in Pro Tools updates, so don't even try.
