Episode 188 | Sean Wolfington | City of Dreams
On today’s Friday edition, we chat with Sean Wolfington! Sean Wolfington is a serial entrepreneur who has built 15 tech companies and had businesses in the film, ad-tech, automotive and real estate industries. Wolfington produced multiple feature films including Bella, Self-Medicated, The Mighty Macs, Little Boy, Sound of Freedom, Cabrini, City of Dreams, and The Prince. The most recent release, Sound of Freedom, is one of the biggest independent films of all time, generating over $250 million at the box office and outperforming blockbuster giants like Indiana Jones and Mission Impossible. City of Dreams opened this past weekend. Inspired by true events, City of Dreams follows Jesús, a young Mexican boy whose dreams of becoming a soccer star are shattered when he’s trafficked across the border and sold to a sweatshop making fast fashion in downtown Los Angeles. Thrust into a world of exploitation and despair, he’s forced to adhere to the grueling work schedule dictated by El Jefe. Despite Jesus’s hellish existence, he finds solace in Elena, a girl who was similarly betrayed and sold into slavery. When she goes missing, and another co-worker Carlitos is severely beaten, Jesus realizes that the only way to save himself and the others is to fight back, even if it costs him his life. @seanwolfington @cityofdreamsmovie cityofdreamsmovie.com @christianmusicguys christianmusicguys.com
