Special Guest Speaker

Michael Mehas

Michael Mehas is the associate producer of the film "Alpha Dog" starring Justin Timberlake, Bruce Willis, and Sharon Stone. The film is based on the true story of a kidnapping and the alleged involvement of Jesse James Hollywood, a California drug dealer who became the youngest man ever to be on the F.B.I.'s Most Wanted List. Mehas went on to write the novel "Stolen Boy," which thinly veils the actual events of the three days of kidnapping, partying, and tragedy.
