Building Companies
and Making Movies: What Should Entreprenuers Learn From Filmmakers and Vice
Versa?
Thursday Feb 28th, 4:00
networking, 4:30-5:30 speaker Please note that it will be held
in the HUMPHREY Private Dining Room NOT the Carlson private dining
room
After 15 years spent forging a professional career as a
successful marketing executive and entrepreneur while secretly
moonlighting as a screenwriter and filmmaker, John Montague had always
been trained to think there were very few similarities between his day
job and his hobby -- until one day he realized that his success in
business was largely due to his filmmaking education, and vice versa.
This presentation by a successful entrepreneur and screenwriter reveals
the many surprising parallels in building start-up companies and making
movies.
Montague's latest venture, Muve, Inc., was recently awarded
the 2007 Minnesota Cup as the state's top new company. He has
successfully built three technology ventures. In addition, he is the
recipient of the Billy Wilder Award for excellence in screenwriting. He
has sold two screenplays that are in development as feature films in
Hollywood.
