What happens when ambition meets creativity at exactly the right moment?
In this conversation, Michael Conniff sits down with Andrew Gellis — former Harvard lacrosse player, literary agent, producer, development executive, and media innovator — to trace a career that moved through Broadway, Hollywood, IMAX, and cutting-edge 3D technology.
Andy reflects on the lessons that shaped him early: getting fired for being “too ambitious,” learning patience in corporate America, discovering the power of storytelling, and taking risks that ultimately opened unexpected doors. Along the way, he helped bring projects like Agnes of God and The 1940s Radio Hour to wider audiences, worked inside major studios, and later helped pioneer dramatic IMAX filmmaking and glasses-free 3D experiences.
More than a career story, this is a conversation about persistence, reinvention, creative instincts, and the relationships that sustain a life in the arts and media.
A thoughtful episode about talent, timing, friendship, and the unpredictable paths that shape a meaningful career.
