“Forgotten Hollywood”- Non Profit Support For Documentary!
Manny P. here…
The Forgotten Hollywood Documentary Pilot received categorical support from MCA-I – LA/OC. This fine association will act as a 501 (c)(3) umbrella for the production. This allows grants, donations, and other non-profit monies to be funneled into the project, opening the door for major funding by PBS-style contributors.
The Media Communications Association-International (MCA-I) is an organization of media communication professionals that provides opportunities for networking, forums for education, and resources for information. Three key initiatives are the focus of their effort: cultivation of partnerships; establishment of an industry university and online library; and building a voice for the industry.
The LA/OC Chapter remains one of their oldest in the organization. They sponsor a signature event: MediaProCamp, serving the regional media community by featuring industry experts who share cutting edge information in technology, marketing, etc.
I’m proud to be one of the newest members of this fine national organization. And, I really appreciate their support of the Forgotten Hollywood Documentary Pilot! Below is the link sharing my involvement and journey through Hollywood’s Golden Age.
