For & By Creative Professionals
We curate expertise on the issues our members care about most and make it
available, for free, to greenlit productions.
The Hollywood Committee is the only nonprofit created by professionals in
TV & film dedicated to using the power of storytelling to move our
nation towards a brighter future.
Advisors are trusted creative voices who ensure our work is grounded in the realities of storytelling, production,
and audience expectations. They ensure the work we do brings value--rather than constrain--the creative
process. Ready to make a difference? Become an Advisor!
