Dorian Howard

Breaking into Hollywood is no easy feat. However, everyday people are getting these jobs, so there is no reason not to be among them! Pulling from her 12+ years in the entertainment business, from MTV intern to Paramount Vice President, Dorian Howard knows how to get started. All too often, interviews and lectures from those in the business focus on the "glory days"—but only after they've made it to the top. But how does one get started as a 21 year old student with no experience? In this talk, Dorian takes audiences through the process from the very first steps. She addresses questions such as: What should you major in? What do companies look for in hiring interns? Do you really need a cover letter? How do you stand apart from the crowd? Should you start a YouTube channel? Make a student film? Dorian tailors this lecture to the specific interests of the audience, but no matter what aspect she covers, every student walks away with very tangible advice and action points.
