Tales from a Story Merchant, an interview with Hollywood Producer, Ken Atchity
Ken Atchity, producer of the movie The Meg, staring Jason Statham, joins us for a fascinating discussion on becoming a Hollywood producer of such movies as "Life, or Something Like It," "The Expatriate" "Joe Somebody," and the HBO movie series "Shades of Love."
...but our time together was much more than talking about his international blockbusters.
Ken is a Story Merchant...and he opens up about his roots, studying in French, Latin, Greek and conversational Japanese, along with enlightening stories of self sabotage, the dangers and blessings of A.I., and making peace with his brother Freddy.
This episode is about family, and the melting pot that truly makes America great.
