Do you really want to mess with this?
As Chairman of Pulse Evolution Corporation, Mr. Textor is an active, full-time resource to the Chief Executive Officer and the President-Head of Studio. He is principally responsible for special projects, strategic partnerships, rights acquisition, venue partnerships and relationships with major media companies.
John Textor is currently active in the development of entertainment properties across a broad spectrum of venues and technology platforms. In addition to his leadership in the extended uses of photo-realistic, digital humans, he is also currently a Producer of Art Story, an original animated feature film currently being developed by Disney veteran filmmaker Aaron Blaise. He was also Producer and Executive Producer of Ender’s Game, a science fiction fantasy film scheduled for global release in November 2013.
Mr. Textor was previously Chairman and CEO of Digital Domain Productions and Chairman and CEO of its parent company, Digital Domain Media Group, having led its acquisition and restructuring from May 2006 to August 2012. Together the companies were responsible for the visual effects of more than 80 large scale feature films, 25 of which were completed during Mr. Textor’s leadership, including such films as Transformers, Flags of our Fathers,Tron:Legacy, Real Steel and Pirates of the Caribbean at World’s End. During Mr. Textor’s leadership, Digital Domain was re-established as a market leader in visual effects, winning multiple Academy Awards, CLIO advertising awards and, importantly, being recognized as the first visual effects company to deliver a believable digital human actor in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. This achievement, known as the ‘Holy Grail of Animation’, earned the company a 2009 Academy Award for Achievement in Visual Effects. The hour long performance of the company’s digital actor was so convincing to audiences and the Academy voters that the film also received an Academy Award for Best Make-up, though the character was entirely digital.
Other highlights during Mr. Textor’s tenure included the break-through introduction of a digital Tupac Shakur at the Coachella Valley Music festival in 2012, the consummation of a joint venture for the digital resurrection of Elvis Presley, the creation of a first of its kind, dual-enrollment Bachelor’s program with Florida State University, completion of a $100 million joint venture agreement with the sovereign media authority of Abu Dhabi and the transformation of Digital Domain into a film production company with the co-production of Ender’s Game.

Before being Chairman of PULSE or CEO or Digital Domain, John Textor was a young man growing in up on Florida's East Coast.
At a young age he became a competitive skater and was a staple in Florida's competitive skateboard scene. He was very accomplished and won numerous events around the state. Later in life John would draw on this background to serve him well as CEO of the internationally know Sims Snowboards. During his tenure, Mr. Textor increased the sales and profits of the company to new heights.
John Textor & Digital Domain - Oscar, Sales Increase & Resignation
After leaving SIMS, John Tetxor and his business partners had an investment firm called Wyndcrest Holdings.
This investment firm had a great deal of success during the early dot-com era with a series of well timed investments in several startups. It has been reported that between 1997 and 2003, Wyndcrest turned about $40 million into almost $700 million as 13 of the company’s 23 investments returned profits to shareholders. John drew on this success and looked towards the future.
Looking to branch out of technology investments and diversify Wyndcrest began to move into entertainment. Along with John Textor, famous director Michael Bay ("Transformers: Age of Extinction", "The Island") and quarterback Dan Marino were involved with a deal to purchase Digital Domain. At the time the reputation of the FX studio had been slipping from the glory days of "Titanic" and the profitability was way down. John Textor and his team were able to rebuild the reputation of the studio and expand its profits. The ultimately revitalized Digital Domain received the industry's highest honor, the "Best Visual Effects" Oscar for "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" in 2009.
In 2012 John Textor resigned in protest from his as CEO of Digital Domain after a series of financial issues took the company into bankruptcy and numerous employees lost their jobs.
John Textor has stated publicly that he feels this bankruptcy could have been avoided.

Equal training opportunity is in terms of days/wk, facility and coach access. Coaches do know what to do with that time they get, players do know what to do with that- make an honest effort to develop the skills which you were told you dont have. Next time you may have it.
Issue is: you deprive them that facility access, coach and time . But you still charge them the same high FEE !
Then you treat boys and girls differently!! For what reason?!!!
Who in their non-delusional mind thinks this is fair?

Plenty of media access for us now and we know how to make the most of it, just wait and continue with your arrogance and unfairness.
We cannot do much because we are told to raise some funds to cover some legal counsel costs and we cannot afford that.
But we are also advised on better options. We have friends at Chivas, LA, just so that you understand what we speak here.
What you cannot do with zero cost, you will do with MILLIONS.
now or never!

I am more awesome than you
Back in my youth (40 yrs ago) I was a top Rider on the northern New England BMX circuit. I tinkered around with some chemistry classes in college and after graduating I came across 20 million dollars and started a Private Equity company that over the years turned that 20 million in $800 billion.
We bought out and restructured the Panasonic BMX bike company that eventually ended up being spun off into a holding company that did absolutely nothing.
Because did some biology, or was it chemistry, in college I spearheaded the purchase and subsequent failure of a failed bio-tech company that was responsible - prior to the first failure for vaccines and cures to many of the worlds biggest killers. Because if this I can claim that I personally participated in the research and development of these groundbreaking bio-tech developments as well as list myself as a winner of the Nobel prize in medicine.
My most recent failed company that once employed 500000000, 90% worked for free due to the federally funded middle school community internship program I developed with the president of the United States.
I am a big hearted person that only wants to make the world better for all that are fortunate enough to be in my presence - even for a couple of seconds.
Life is awesome! You better not cross me!!!
