Black Capital & Black Content in Hollywood

Join us for a discussion with writer, producer and director Michael C. Martin about his experiences in Hollywood. Martin’s career goes back nearly two decades, with credits including the film “Brooklyn’s Finest” and TV series “Empire” (Fox), “Wu-Tang: An American Saga” (Hulu), “Star” (Fox) and “Lethal Weapon” (AMC).

Martin will join J. Christopher Hamilton, assistant professor of television, radio and film, as part of an event titled “Black Capital & Black Content in Hollywood,” which is this year’s topic of the Conversation on Race and Entertainment Media.

Martin will also share his thoughts on the impact that the writers and actors strikes are having on the entertainment business and the future of diverse voices in Hollywood.
