Whether she’s building a working canal for a Wicked premiere or launching a dance sensation with a crew of Megans, Michelle Paris doesn’t just throw events—she creates movie magic in real life.

In this episode of Seen on the Screen, Jacqueline Coley sits down with Michelle Paris, Senior Vice President of Global Special Projects and Events at Universal Pictures, to explore what goes into producing iconic film premieres, awards shows, and unforgettable movie moments. From transforming the Roman Colosseum into a Fast X red carpet to placing storm-cloud cotton candy cocktails at the Nope premiere, Michelle shares how she and her team dream big, sweat the small stuff, and make the impossible feel effortless.

You'll hear how she got her start in events, why she nearly traded Hollywood for a quiet life in Montana, and the movie that first made her fall in love with premieres—all while raising the bar for what film fans can experience beyond the screen.
