Before the official start of TheGrill 2025, TheWrap welcomed event speakers to mix and mingle at a luxury dinner at Cipriani Beverly Hills.
The night kicked off with a cocktail reception, where guests nibbled on appetizers and networked with fellow industry figures. Later on, as guests took their seats, dinner was served, and TheWrap founder and editor-in-chief Sharon Waxman delivered welcoming remarks.
Filling the room were attendees Sean Atkins, CEO, Dhar Mann Studios; Jerry Bruckheimer, “F1” producer; CEO and president of Gerber Kawasaki Wealth & Investment Management Ross Gerber and more.
The evening came to an end with dessert and closing remarks, and guests were sent off with gift bags.
TheGrill, one of the two WrapPRO flagship events, is being held at the DGA Theater Complex on Sunset in Los Angeles on Tuesday (Sept. 30). Attendees gain firsthand knowledge from industry leaders through panel discussions, spotlight conversations and more. Some of the topics TheGrill will cover this year is the rise of creator-led studios, indie filmmaking, sports and streaming, the state of artificial intelligence in 2025 and more.
Many of TheWrap staff members will take the stage to moderate these conversations, including executive editor Adam Chitwood, Pro managing editor Roger Cheng and senior film reporter Drew Taylor.
