Volunteer Spotlight: Chris Boghosian

 ChrisBoghosian_0619.gif (37488 bytes)
Christopher J. Boghosian has been volunteering at the Egyptian Theatre since April 2008. As an independent filmmaker, he especially appreciates the American Cinematheque's mission, which is to honor and promote films and their filmmakers. Watching classic and current films at the Egyptian is one of Christopher's favorite things to do in LA. A favorite moment was watching VERTIGO by Alfred Hitchcock in 70MM while seated in the front row of the balcony! Also, he was fortunate enough to have one of his short films, FADE TO RED, screen at the Egyptian during the ARPA International Film Festival in 2008. Christopher is currently writing a feature-length teen satire, which he plans on directing in 2010 and dreams of premiering at the Egyptian!
