Now in their early 20’s on the east coast, each young man develops a fascination with the burgeoning industry of silent film on the east coast. Seizing opportunity, each begins purchasing theaters to show these films, until tycoon Thomas Edison, an anti-semite, refuses to supply any more films to them.
Having reached a dead end, each man decides to move west to pursue their dream of making his own films. Still unaware of each other, the men settle in a 15 mile radius of one another, and become some of the most influential and powerful of their time.

THE HOLLYWOOD PALLADIUM
Format: Live Entertainment
Budget: $1mm initial launch
Genre: Supper Club
In 1940, the Hollywood Palladium opened as a premier Supper Club in America. The Tommy Dorsey big band performed with unknown lead singer, Frank Sinatra, while guests dined and danced in the 11,000 square foot ballroom. Celebrity sightings became the norm, as The Palladium quickly became the destination for the who’s who in Hollywood.
As supper clubs began to go out of vogue in the early 1960s, the Palladium became a rental facility for special events and television productions, and has remained so to this day.
There has been a resurgence in the fascination of the golden age of Hollywood. That, along with the public’s growing desire for immersive experiential entertainment, we are resurrecting the Palladium to its former glory, starting with a two night event. This reopening would serve as proof of concept for viability of a long-term venture, expanding the supper club revival throughout the United States, and internationally.
