This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

Comment: Biographies of living people need to heavily use inline citations. This article also reads very promotionally. Claims like In Hollywood, he is considered the tip of the spear in developing international local language production business strategies, combining talent from North America and each of the local markets he’s worked in" are too promotional for Wikipedia.
That being said, John Penotti appears to be notable based on the profiles in New York Magazine and The Washington Post. Consider adding more detail from those articles into this draft. Chess (talk) (please mention me on reply) 03:32, 23 August 2024 (UTC)

Prominent Hollywood figure John Penotti has produced over 55 film and TV projects. After founding Ivanhoe Pictures—an international local-language content company—in 2013, Penotti merged the Company with Sidney Kimmel Entertainment, to form SK Global Entertainment as a Founder and CEO. His film and TV productions have grossed hundreds of millions of dollars around the world. The Company was acquired in 2022 by London-based investment firm Centricus.

Penotti produced the worldwide box office juggernaut Crazy Rich Asians, with director Jon M. Chu. The film boasted the first all-Asian cast for a studio in many years and went on to become one of the highest grossing romantic comedies of all time. The movie is credited with creating a paradigm shift in Hollywood and beyond, ushering in an era of diverse, culturally-focused, and globally-minded commercial film and TV productions.

Along with productions throughout North America, Penotti has developed, financed, and produced film and television projects all throughout Asia, including Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Korea, China, and Hong Kong, as well as India, Western Europe, and Latin America. In Hollywood, he is considered the tip of the spear in developing international local language production business strategies, combining talent from North America and each of the local markets he’s worked in.

Penotti’s productions include the Netflix hit event series Thai Cave Rescue, the Korean phenomenon The Wailing, and the International Emmy Award winning Hindi-language series Delhi Crime (Netflix), amongst others. Penotti established a number of key partnerships to produce local-language films in China, Thailand, India, South Korea, Latin America, and Indonesia. Additional productions include the 2017 Academy Award Best Picture nominee Hell or High Water and the thriller Greta from director Neil Jordan (The Crying Game).

Personal Life

Penotti was born in Paterson, New Jersey. He is a graduate of Tufts University, Summa Cum Laude.
