Producer
Donald Kushner, who has produced stage shows and an
animated feature film, is producing his first live-action feature in
TRON.
Kushner was born March 2, 1945 in Providence, RI. He attended high
school in Providence, received an undergraduate degree from Syracuse
University in 1971 and a Boston University law degree in 1973. He
then studied art for one year in Florence Italy.
Upon returning to Boston he set up a law practice which included a
number of show business clients. This led to the opportunity to
produce plays for the Boston stage, among them "P.S. Your Cat is
Dead" and the first theatrical adaptation of Kurt Vonnegut's "Player
Piano."
In 1977 Kushner formed a partnership with filmmaker Steven
Lisberger. In 1978 the pair moved to Los Angeles, where they
produced the 90-minute animated film "Animalympics." - Tron
