Live! Nude Puppets!

With Disney setting numerous box office records over the past decade, Viane is easily considered one of the most knowledgeable and influential people in the in global theatrical motion picture distribution in the world.

For cinema and media students and anyone interested in the past, present, and future of cinema distribution in the new media landscape, this is an rare opportunity to hear from a top executive from a top major Hollywood studio.
