One-Stop Shopping: Coffee, Cheesecake And The MPAA?
The major movie studios' mouthpiece will move its 150-employee Los Angeles operation later this month to office space in the Sherman Oaks Galleria. Starting Jan. 22, the Motion Picture Association of America can be found in the same complex as Ben & Jerry's, the Cheesecake Factory and Starbucks. Don't worry, there's a 24-Hour Fitness to work off that dessert.
"As the MPAA has evolved into an even more global operation and adopted new approaches to fighting piracy which require new technological capability, we have sought office space that meets different needs," MPAA chief Dan Glickman said. The new location will afford staffers "a larger, freer working environment" and new screening rooms for the panel that classifies and rates movies.
For the past 15 years, the MPAA's L.A. offices have been headquartered in Encino, along with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers. AMPTP will make the move to the new digs along with several components of the Directors Guild of America. A division of Warner Bros. is located in the same complex.
