Hollywood in the Hood is also a full service communications company specializing in broadcasting live over the Internet, providing Web-based content, television production, videography, film editing, recording, voice over, printing, marketing, promotion, artist management, public relations, hosting and consulting.
Our most successful production thus far is the Playa T Thats Me Show, broadcast live via the Internet. Since its inception in 2005, with its host Playa T, the show has grown dramatically each month in its viewership achieving an international audience. The show is committed to providing valuable resources to anyone starting new enterprises, wanting to keep up with current events, the latest in local, national, and international entertainment, checking out the latest news and gossip or the doings of recording artists, releases, and fashion, as well as the more serious political and economic issues concerning impoverished communities around the world.
The guests appearing on the show come from all walks of life, from celebrities to pillars in the community, from business and industry professionals to the voiceless, from the opinionated to those that have been left behind and cast aside. We affectionately call it Hollywood In The Hood!!!!
The long-term goal of Hollywood In The Hood is to empower young people and their families to break the habits that are leading to trouble at home, in school, and in the streets through a process of social entrepreneurship and life skills training. The role of our licensed partners is to recognize when a part of society is stuck and to provide new ways to get it unstuck. He or she determines what is not working and solves the problem by changing the way business is done, spreading the solution, while persuading the larger community to take new directions.
Identifying and solving large-scale social problems, such as poverty, requires a network of social entrepreneurs because only the entrepreneur has the committed vision and inexhaustible determination to persist until they have transformed an entire system. The scholar comes to rest when he or she expresses an idea. The professional succeeds when he or she solves a client’s problem. The manager calls it quits when he or she has enabled his organization to succeed. Social entrepreneurs go beyond the immediate problem seeking fundamental change negative relationships in communities, which is what is required wherever poverty exists to stem the historical patterns of predatory practices in the larger community.
