Chuck Rock

Whether it is in the restaurant business, securities, marketing, or overseeing Arthaus Pictures, Chuck Rock has proven to have the Midas touch. Over the course of his entrepreneurial career, he has seen his share of success and excitement, but few things turn him on more than his passion for films, food, and wine.  Today, to maintain his restaurant interests and his production company, Rock divides his time between his two homes in Laguna Beach and New York City, but looks forward to focusing much of his attention on his latest West Coast endeavor Hush Restaurant in Laguna Beach.  Chuck was an Executive Producer on the upcoming ROCKSTARS OF COMEDY and is actively involved in all aspects of the Arthaus Pictures film development, acquisitions, financing, and production.
