At speeches, seminars and other public events, I entertain and enlighten audiences of any age, gender, special interest or political persuasion with insightful, lively and often amusing observations. And my listeners come away with a positive message that refreshes their outlook, lifts them up, focuses and enhances the mission of their meeting, and offers insights into the way movies reflect our lives and deepest aspirations.

My talks are ideal for group events of any type or size—working lunches, high school commencements, weekend retreats, prayer breakfasts, working seminars, annual conventions or executive training sessions. And I have spoken at high schools, colleges, retirement homes, conventions, cinema clubs, writers associations, film series and movie premiere screenings, as well as at special cultural events at the Smithsonian, the American Film Institute, the Goethe Institute, the Avalon Theatre and various embassies in Washington
