In short, we help them make their own movies. "In later childhood, books leave more room than movies for conjuring," Greenspan says, "but movies can bring literature alive and stir the imagination."

The real value these companies bring to the world and to their shareholders is their unmatched skill at recruiting fresh-faced young students from the Ivy League. Those lavish dinners with the managing directors, those Morgan Stanley-emblazoned squeeze balls and those endless series of first round, second round, supplemental, on-site, off-site, group, case, informational and informal interviews are what you guys do best.
