Speaker Series: A Student's Guide to Hollywood

In each of six 50-minute fireside chats, Hollywood writer-director Emma Needell (JHU class of '12) and producer Jake Sally will dig in deep with a different young Hollywood professional to learn the truth behind the tinsel walls that surround Hollywood.
