AUTHOR’S EVENT - CHRIS FENTON, HOLLYWOOD PRODUCER
Location: The Rose Gallery, Bergamot Station, 2525 Michigan Ave, Building B, Unit 7, Santa Monica
Chris Fenton, (’93, BS Engineering) is one of our favorite Hollywood producers, who spent decades in the movie industry and 17 years as the President of DMG Motion Picture Group, many of which were spent in China. In this event, Chris will share the motivation and the stories that created his book, Feeding the Dragon: Inside the Trillion Dollar Dilemma Facing Hollywood, the NBA, & American Business. The book is summarized as a deeply revealing memoir of big wins and hard lessons from a seasoned executive caught smack in the middle of the trillion-dollar soft power struggle pitting China against Hollywood, the NBA, and American business.
Join us as Chris takes us through his wild ride in the east with his warm and humorous style. Stay for the book signing after Chris’s talk. Light bites and beverages will be served.
