A Movie Changed My Life

A Movie Changed My Life is the memoir of an architect who worked in the entertainment industry, primarily theme parks, for more than thirty-two years. From a young, yet-to-be-employed, newly graduated architect knocking on doors trying to land an interview, to chairman of the board and director of the entertainment sector of a renowned international architecture firm . . . it's "one hell of a ride," as the author aptly sums up at the conclusion of this captivating memoir. Scheidel's international business dealings take him to China, Russia, Korea, and other countries, exploring foreign business culture and experiencing fascinating and sometimes bizarre customs along the way. From sampling such delicacies as live baby octopus to enduring a "massage" more akin to torture, the author grants the reader an inside look at the life of an accomplished architect traveling the globe.
