The Hollywood Networking Breakfast® (HNB) was founded on the Paramount Studios
Lot in 1993 by Sandra Lord, as a means to provide opportunities for industry
professionals and emerging talent. Some of the most respected individuals, both
in front of the camera and behind the scenes, have offered patrons insight and
advise. For the last 19 years the event has hosted Academy®, Golden Globe,
Peabody and Emmy® Award winners and nominees, as well as top Hollywood Studio
Heads and Production Company Presidents.
A partial list of esteemed speakers includes, Ron Meyer, Craig Zadan & Neil
Meron, Stan Lee, Wes Craven, Garry Marshall, Penny Marshall, Henry Winkler, John
Singleton, Lynda Obst, Eric McLeod, Debra Martin Chase, Mike Medavoy, Reuben
Cannon, Anthony Zuiker, David E. Kelley, John Sacret Young, Simon Kinberg, James
Burrows, Ron Schwary, John Lee Hancock, Mario Van Peebles, Bryce Dallas Howard,
among others.
HNB benefits Changing Images in America -- a non-profit
501 (c)(3) organization dedicated to promoting diversity in American culture,
with a focus on the entertainment industry. The event attracts a diverse group
of writers, producers, actors, directors, financiers, attorneys, talent reps,
crew and others at various levels of experience and achievement. HNB has proven
to be a valuable resource for professional and aspiring industry members. The
event has facilitated many collaborations and networking opportunities. A very
popular feature for attendees and speakers alike has been the facilitation of a
one-time mentorship, wherein speakers take a general meeting, “do lunch” or
agree to be shadowed for part of their day by a promising "lucky attendee." This
opportunity is all in keeping with Ms. Lord's goal to continue facilitating
opportunities of access for attendees - especially those who are prepared and
need a “leg up.” Official
