Though born and educated in Texas, Jerome Rudes' entrepreneurial
spirit first took hold when he created the French-American
Film Workshop in Avignon, France 19 years ago. Today, that
event continues to prosper—though it's now known as the
Avignon Film Festival—and its American sister fest, The
New York Avignon Film Festival, continues to stand as one
of New York City's film festival highlights.
