Chris Fenton served as president of DMG Entertainment Motion Picture Group and GM of DMG North America for 17 years, internationally orchestrating the creative and business activities of DMG--a multi-billion dollar global media company headquartered in Beijing. He has produced or supervised twenty-one films, grossing $2 billion in worldwide box-office.
