Additionally, they developed a documentary which Spencer and M17 will produce entitled FOREVER HOLLYWOOD. It is about the past, present and future of the Grauman’s Chinese Theater, now called the TCL Chinese Theater (http://www.meteor17.com/forever-hollywood).

The documentary will premiere via Proffer’s long term arrangement on a major streaming platform in over 30 territories in 2021, then exhibited downstream, on multiple broadcast outlets, worldwide.
