Behind The Spotlight Chapter 85
May arrived, and the promotion for Week On A Cruise Ship intensified to a whole new level. Wyatt had just recently completed post-production after working long hours to perfect the final cut. Now, he could rest for a week before joining the promotional campaign.
The trailers for the movie had been released on TV networks and radio stations during prime-time hours, reaching a massive nationwide audience. Posters were everywhere, from bus stops to towering billboards.
The small screening had received amazing feedback from critics and select audiences alike. As a result, Uni-versus Pictures decided to go with Wyatt Bray's director's cut as the official theatrical release.
Noah Nash and Berry Cruz were having a conversation at the top floor of Uni-versus Pictures, inside the executive lounge. A space where only a select few had access.
"Wyatt is talented. No doubt about it. I remember when you invited me to attend his business pitch last year. At first, I was confused why you wanted me to watch his pitch when he wasn't even a big name yet. But I understood your intention once I read the script."
Noah had been the Chairman of Uni-versus Pictures for years and understood how the industry worked. However, he admitted that Berry Cruz had more experience than him in certain key areas.
Berry had been in the industry his entire career, starting in the 1950s. He began as a props maker, then became a movie producer, later the head of the production department, and eventually the CEO of 20th Centaur during the aggressive studio expansion of the '80s.
20th Centaur was one of Hollywood's major studios, and Berry Cruz had led it in the '80s with strong leadership. He helped it become a major studio that consistently produced blockbuster hits.
