Christie Marchese, who grew up in Southern California, worked in a movie theatre through high school. She was planning on enrolling in filmmaking at college, but decided to pursue International Relations following the attacks of 9/11.
That love of film remained and after college Christie started working with a well-known TV producer on a non-profit film on registering voters. Christie’s path next took her to a company called Participant Media, where she worked on documentaries such as Food Inc., Waiting for Superman and The Cove.
Now based in New York City, Christie is the founder and CEO of Kinema, a company that uses a market platform to make films available to hosts who handle things like booking and ticket selling themselves through the digital platform. And this, according to Christie, allows Kinema to service more filmmakers and distributors.
On this episode, Christie Marchese talks about some mistakes she’s made as CEO - including not delegating enough. She has some advice for anyone interested in starting a business on venture capital, and she has some great advice for fellow introverts.
