Loyola Marymount University School of Film and Television is pleased to announce the continuation of the acclaimed interview series The Hollywood Masters, which kicks off its fourth season September 30, 2015.
Emmy Award-winning journalist and LMU Visiting Artist Stephen Galloway will host the series, which has featured some of the top names in film and television, including Clint Eastwood, Sean Penn, Michael Mann, Gale Anne Hurd and David O. Russell.
The new season begins with a rare interview with Ron Meyer, one of the most admired executives in Hollywood history, a co-founder of CAA and currently vice chairman of NBC-Universal.
Meyer will be followed by Amy Adams, the star of such films as American Hustle and The Fighter; Jerry Bruckheimer, the producer of such blockbusters as Top Gun and Pirates of the Caribbean, as well as the CSI TV franchise; Damon Lindelof, the writer-producer of Lost and the Star Trek movie series; and Jake Gyllenhaal, the star of Brokeback Mountain, Nightcrawler and Southpaw.
Oscar winners and movie icons Michael Caine and Jane Fonda will round out this season, with each of the 90-minute interviews shown exclusively on The Hollywood Reporter website, where the series has drawn a worldwide audience.
“The Hollywood Masters continues to be an invaluable program for our students as they navigate the world of filmmaking. We are fortunate to be able to provide them with the opportunity to hear from artists who have spent their careers telling powerful stories and inspiring audiences worldwide, and we are all extremely excited for this new season,” said Stephen Ujlaki, dean of the School of Film and Television.
“It’s every journalist’s dream to interview such gigantic creative talent as Michael Caine and Jane Fonda,” said Galloway, executive features editor for The Hollywood Reporter. “And to have the other extraordinary guests we’ve invited for this season — all welcomed by the most enthusiastic student audience I’ve ever seen — makes this one of the best experiences of my professional life.”
The Hollywood Masters is open to LMU students, faculty and alumni only.
