ABOUT FRANK ABAGNALE, JR.
As the author and real life subject of the screenplay Catch Me If YouCan, Frank W. Abagnale Jr. is one of the world’s most respected authorities on the subjects of forgery, embezzlement and secure documents. As captured in the film, he successfully performed cons worth millions of dollars including posing as a Pan American World Airways pilot, a Georgia doctor, and a Louisiana parish prosecutor. His primary crime was check fraud, which he became so skillful that the FBI eventually turned to him for help in catching other check forgers.

Q&A with Chris Brigham

From Easy Money to Argo: Chris Brigham’s journey from a P.A. in New York to a hollywood powerhouse.

 

Chris Brigham isn’t your typical Hollywood producer, which comes as a surprise, considering he’s produced global blockbusters such as Argo, Inception, The Aviator, and Analyze This. In fact, he doesn’t even live in Hollywood. Despite his New York address, Chris has produced over 17 major motion pictures in his already distinguished career. He’s currently wrapping up post production work for Noah, expected to be released in 2014, starring Russell Crowe and Anthony Hopkins.

 

Chris offers an insightful perspective on how to get to the top of an impossible industry, what skills helped get him ahead, the ins and outs of film production, how to achieve work-life balance in such a demanding role and his recommendation for success.
