“Do you want to see the Lakers game?” Brad Krevoy, CEO & chairman of the Motion Picture Corporation of America, asks and smiles disarmingly, the corners of his eyes flashing and crinkling boyishly as he apologizes for being late to our Sunday afternoon interview. In the recesses of my mind, which may still be floating out somewhere across the Atlantic, having yet to adjust to French time—or festival time in this case (festival time = up all night, up all day, sleep a wink if you’re lucky)—I recall that the Lakers are scheduled to play the Houston Rockets in several hours.
