Oscar-winning filmmaker Travon Free (“Two Distant Strangers”) is among the panelists for the inaugural “Hbcu in LA – Hollywood Summit,” presented by the Entertainment Industry College Outreach Program (Eicop).

“We’re thrilled to have this resounding response in participation from the entertainment industry,” Stacy Milner, Eicop’s founder and CEO says, announcing the program. “It shows the value and importance they place in creating a pipeline of talent from HBCUs to their companies, and their commitment to diversity and inclusion.
