Storytelling: Kathie Fong Yoneda Has Had Her Feet On Every Rung Of The Ladder
Kathie Fong Yoneda has climbed from typist to executive but didn’t do so in a straight line (because there is no such thing as a straight line when it comes to life). Exactly how does an early interest in journalism and art lead to top-level employment at major studios? We’d answer that but Kathie does so better than we ever could.
One of the common themes among our guests is empathy. While this isn’t a competition, Kathie was the first guest to ask about Neo’s wellbeing after he finished fighting Morpheus. So, that’s where the bar is now, future guests. From there, the conversation takes off, touching on community college, art, journalism, affirmative action, and storytelling. Specifically, we focus on how to think about storytelling when addressing executives. How do you best package an idea for studios? How do you rework a project for pitch and for sale? All that and more on this episode of The Hollywood Fishbowl!
