November 3, 2026

🗓️ Thursday, Nov. 12, 2026
⏰ 7:00 – 8:30 p.m
📍 St. Paul the Apostle Multipurpose Room (1526 Selby Ave., Los Angeles, CA 90024)
We continue our series on the changing environment of Hollywood with professionals in the entertainment and media industries. Why is storytelling so important? How are people who are passionate about sharing stories working around the Hollywood system?
Join Fr. Mark and the following panel members:
  • Brennon Edwards, Executive Producer, Transit Pictures; mini-drama production
  • Kemma Filby, Actress, Writer, Director; Co-founder and CEO of Seasick Studios
  • Matthew McManus, Senior Director, TV Business Affairs & Legal Administration at Lionsgate Films
  • Buz Wallick, Producer; Director of Physical Production, Fox Entertainment
St. Paul the Apostle parish has always been a place where people in the entertainment business have come together to celebrate faith, raise families, pray together, share ideas, and collaborate. Fathers Bud Keiser, Jack Mullhall, and Ed Wronblewski are some of the past Paulists who saw Hollywood as a mission field. Paulists continue to work with the talent and industry leaders who call St. Paul’s home.
