"As an actress since the 70's working with Robert Redford, Jack Nicholson, Peter Ustinov and more, I talked a lot about the studio system. Oceania Studios embodies the vision to redefine the family of man through their film franchises. Gathering the finest group of purpose-driven executives and high-ranking film stars, this is a journey our entire family supports. Congratulations Kevin and Marshall!
