Lee Stepping Down at ACM

Chris Lee is stepping down from his chairman post at the UH Academy for Creative Media (ACM) to serve as president of new film production co. Legendary Pictures. Lee said, "Basically my job was to get the school up and running. I think it will be more important for me now to market the school and raise funds than oversee the day-to-day business."

The ACM program launched with 70 students taking classes in film production, animation, screenwriting, game design, cinematography, and the like. Starting this year, ACM will be a degree-granting program, with 10 new faculty member teaching 22 courses.
