Ron Howard

Ron Howard has spent a lifetime in entertainment, as both a popular television actor and a prominent director and producer. Working in partnership with producer Brian Grazer, Howard's credits range from the Da Vinci Code (2006) to A Beautiful Mind (2001). Speaking with a group of graduate students, Howard offered his point of view on how collaboration shifts from those he calls "the gatekeepers" - agents, managers and executives - to the people involved in making a film, to finally the entire movie-making process.
