I began my film industry career in 1969 and will begin my 56th year in June, 2025. I have worked in distribution, exhibition, marketing, advertising, and today in communications and business development. I lived and worked in the decades of Peter Biskind’s fine book. For me, it has been and continues to be a wild ride.

The decline of New Hollywood is a sobering reminder of what happens when boldness gives way to formula. But we’re seeing a glimmer of hope. While technology has democratized the tools for production and distribution, giving creators the power to take charge of their projects like never before, we’re still waiting for the film industry to catch up (maybe they don’t want to?).

At You, Me & Her and my cannabis production company High Concept Entertainment, we’re embracing this shift—leveraging innovation to craft heartfelt, personal films while pioneering new ways to deliver them directly to audiences.

As Hollywood burns, we believe the future belongs to the originators, the storytellers, and the creators willing to lead their own revolution.
