What makes audiences fall in love with a movie—and what makes them walk out? Kevin Goetz is the founder and CEO of Screen Engine/ASI, the research and strategy firm trusted by major Hollywood studios. Nicknamed “The Doctor of Audience-ology,” Kevin has built his career helping filmmakers and studios understand their audiences.
