There's a lot of talk about the changes in Hollywood, a
city that has been at the center
of moviemaking and TV production for nearly a century. So we
invited producer and
writer Alexia Melocchi, who co-authored the book, "The Heart of
Show Business," to
talk about what's really happening in this city of dreams. Alexia
will discuss in detail a
road map to navigating how work is getting done in this new
era.
"The Heart of Show Business" speaks with industry professionals
from writers,
directors, actors, athletes, and more, discussing how to stay ahead
and win at every
level. Each chapter offers career insights and professional advice
from with a variety
of successful individuals, including Blair Underwood, Keith
Mitchell, Rev. Michael
Beckwith, Jean-Michel Cousteau and many others. I found it deeply
interesting to dive
into the mindset of industry pros, a terrific tool for any
profession.
But in the ever-changing entertainment industry, it's critical to
stay one step ahead.
Whether it's Ai, digital, the business of acting, where the
industry is headed,
or how to learn the ABC's of filmmaking, Alexia offers an
interesting perspective on
what's next.
