Greenlight

How do you join the entertainment industry, especially if you have no connections? How do you figure out which avenue of entertainment interests you? Is it harder to find opportunities if you are a creative of color?
Mallika Chennupaty's Greenlight: A Creative's Ticket into Entertainment is a deep dive into the answers to these questions and more. This book explores Mallika's journey of gaining interest in joining the entertainment industry, but not knowing where to fit in or how to get started. In an effort to learn more and gather advice, she chatted with numerous up-and-coming creatives of color who are finding opportunities in acting, writing, directing and more in their own unique way.
Greenlight was written to help new creatives find opportunities in entertainment, build their skills, and share their stories. Through thirteen interviews from a diverse panel of rising entertainment professionals, readers can find inspiration, valuable advice, and critical research that reinforces this fact: there is no one set path to success in entertainment.
