Travis Knox

Immediately following graduation from Chapman University in ’93, Travis Knox packed his belongings 和 moved to Hollywood.  His entry-level gig as a receptionist for Bruce Willis 和 Demi Moore’s company lasted six weeks before he was promoted, starting the glamorous life of a producer’s assistant.

After a couple of years paying his dues, Knox was hired by producers Craig Zadan 和 Neil Meron as a production associate on the television movie events The Beach Boys: An American 家庭 和 安妮, directed by Rob Marshall 和 starring Kathy Bates. He continued his association with Zadan 和 Meron’s Storyline Entertainment on the Emmy Award-winning Life With Judy Garl和: Me 和 My Shadows 和传记片 马丁 & 刘易斯.  

After making the jump to working on feature films, including Miramax’s 芝加哥 (which went on to win six Academy Awards including Best Picture), Knox was raised to Storyline Entertainment’s Executive vice president of motion picture production. 

During this time he was responsible for finding, packaging 和 overseeing the Rob Reiner-directed Warner Bros. 冲击, The Bucket List, starring Jack Nicholson 和 Morgan Freeman, on which he served as an executive producer. Knox was also a co-producer on the movie musical 头发定型剂, starring John Travolta, Christopher Walken, Queen Latifah 和 Michelle Pfeiffer.

Knox has returned to the university where he currently runs Chapman Entertainment, the feature film studio set up to help alums make the transition to feature films.  He also serves on Dodge College’s alumni board 和 enjoys teaching a class on producing.
