In the wake of the catastrophic Los Angeles wildfires, relief efforts have galvanized all corners of Hollywood, from stars and creatives to executives and nonprofits. Now a group of young agents, managers and executives are coming together to host a benefit on behalf of the Entertainment Community Fund.
Scheduled for Feb. 7, the benefit is set to take place at West Hollywood’s Wild West Social House, a membership club for fashion stylists located in the former Hollywood Foreign Press headquarters on Robertson Boulevard. Hosts include Eric Schulman of Haven Entertainment, Rocco Signore of LBI Entertainment, Brando Crawford of Acting For A Cause, Hannah J. Gordon of Misher Films, Jared Bloch of Bloch Law and Paul Grady of Mosaic.
Also confirmed for the event committee are Andre Jones of WME, Casey Larkin of the Gersh Agency, Diego Rey of Underground, Kayla Stamps of Kevin Hart’s Hartbeat, Josh Roemer Ingles of Odenkirk-Provissiero, Jordan Reynolds of Mosaic, Stephen Belden of Death Wish Entertainment, Jared Sleisenger Leviathan Prods., and Jackie Barrie of Jackie Barrie Entertainment. Sponsors include Lo Siento Tequila, Bomani, Benny’s Tacos and Del Rey Party Rentals.
“Between the pandemic, strikes and the fires, it’s been a really tough few years for our industry. But, if one can find a silver lining, it’s in the way we band together in times of crisis,” Schulman tells The Hollywood Reporter. “The hunger to help amongst our peers has been palpable, and thankfully we’ve been able to tap into that and throw this event to help our business’s most vulnerable.”
