WHAT IS THE HOLLYWOOD CREATIVE ALLIANCE?

 

Hollywood Creative Alliance, commonly referred to as HCA, is a 501 c6 membership-based, not-for-profit organization. Its diverse and inclusive membership includes critics, entertainment journalists, content creators, industry insiders, and creatives with a shared passion for celebrating excellence in entertainment.

 

 HCA believes in creating a culture where representation is a critical component to the evolution of the industry. The vision and mission of the Hollywood Creative Alliance is to amplify diversity, equity, inclusion, accessibility, and culture in entertainment. Throughout the year, our members will have the opportunity to be highlighted through various committees, events, award shows, and upcoming new projects. 

 

        The HCA has recently restructured and rebranded to expand its mission and build new content which will include an official magazine, conversation and screening series, podcasts, after-shows, and other industry and consumer-driven in-person and virtual events. The organization looks forward to creating original content and programs that will educate, entertain, and inspire not only those within the industry but audiences around the world.

HOW TO JOIN US

The Hollywood Creative Alliance invites and welcomes all working industry professionals and those looking to work within the entertainment industry to join. Becoming a member of the HCA supports our mission of embracing and elevating inclusive voices within entertainment. 
Our current membership is divided into peer groups, which include actors, creative artists, critics and entertainment journalists, filmmakers, industry professionals, producers, students, and writers. As membership continues to evolve and expand, we will add new branches. 
The Hollywood Creative Alliance offers four membership tiers: General, Rising Star, Supporting, and VIP. Each membership tier provides a different level of access and perks. All members, regardless of their membership tier, can vote in the Astra Awards (in their selected branch or branches), receive select screeners*, and have the opportunity to attend select industry screenings and events.
Based on the selected membership tier, members can attend upcoming Astra Awards ceremonies, member meetups in Los Angeles, exclusive screening and conversation series, and other Astra-branded events. Members will also receive exclusive discounts and the opportunity to be part of nominating committees and present at the Astra Awards. 
There are currently three branches of the Astra Awards: a film, a television, and a creative arts branch. You can select single or multiple branches when filling out your membership form. If you select a creative arts branch, you can choose from three options: creative arts for film, creative arts for television, or a combined option for film and television.
