Athena has produced award-winning feature films associated with studios
including MGM, Warner Brothers, HBO, First Independent Pictures, and
Roadside Attractions. Such films include epic ensemble piece, "Bobby",
released by MGM, which opened the L.A. Film Festival and won the Biografilm Award at The Venice Film Festival and
was nominated for "Best Picture" at the Golden
Globes. After studying motion picture production at NYU's prestigious TISCH School of
the Arts, and being inspired by her late aunt Inger Stevens, who co-starred in
movies such as Hang 'Em High (1968) and A Guide for the Married Man (1967),
Athena immediately began forging estimable careers for herself in multiple
areas of the film industry. For her debut venture as a producer, Athena attracted
Academy Award® and Emmy® winning actors to appear in The Elevator (HBO),
a film in which she also starred.
