The Movie Crypt

PUBLIC VERSION. Producer Alex Lebovici (BILL & TED FACE THE MUSIC, BARBARIAN, BOY KILLS WORLD) joins Adam, Joe, and Arwen in the ArieScope studio to share his career journey. From getting arrested shooting a short film as a kid growing up in Canada… to being rejected from every film school in Canada for having bad grades… to attending the NY Film Academy in Los Angeles where he was assigned to make 2 short films but instead made 12… to losing his visa and having to go back to Canada… to making the decision to learn the business side of things as a way to work his way back to Hollywood… to the unlikely business he started that provided him with the skills and resources he needed to become a producer… to his triumphant return to Hollywood where he made 21 movies over the next 10 years… to the absolute nightmare situation he went through while producing 2020’s BILL & TED FACE THE MUSIC and the importance of remaining persistent and never giving up no matter what goes wrong… Alex provides a crash course in inspiration that will have anyone who is feeling beaten down ready to get back up and into the fight!
