Travis Knox | Source | Associate Professor, Artistic Faculty Producing at Chapman University

Immediately following graduation from Chapman University in ’93, Travis packed his belongings and moved to Hollywood. His entry-level gig as a receptionist for Bruce Willis and Demi Moore’s company lasted six weeks before he was promoted, starting the glamorous life of a producer’s assistant. After a couple of years paying his dues, Knox was hired by producers Craig Zadan and Neil Meron as a production associate on the television movie events The Beach Boys: An American Family and Annie, directed by Rob Marshall and starring Kathy Bates. He continued his association with Zadan and Meron’s Storyline Entertainment on the Emmy Award-winning Life With Judy Garland: Me and My Shadows and biopic Martin & Lewis. Knox has returned to the university where he currently runs Chapman Entertainment, the feature film studio set up to help alums make the transition to feature films. He also serves on Dodge College’s alumni board and enjoys teaching a class on producing.
