Currently Wood Dickinson is the producer and co-founder of the Kansas City based
feature film production company, Renegade Pictures, LLC.

Prior to taking on this challenge Wood spent 20 years working for then helming
Dickinson Theatres, a Midwest based motion picture exhibition company founded by his
grandfather in 1920.

When Dickinson took over Dickinson Theatres, the organization faced the same
challenge as the rest of the industryan over-abundance of movie screens, especially in
major metro markets such as Kansas City. Part of Dickinsons reign at Dickinson
Theatres included steering the company through a major reorganization in 1998.
Dickinson employed the principles from the 7 Habits to create a new principle-centered
organization founded on trust and open communication. The right combination of
downsizing in the corporate office and scaling back operations throughout the company
put the company back on a growth track. His efforts to reinvent his company were
profiled in Living the 7 Habits by Stephen R. Covey, 1999. In September 2000, he sold
his interest in Dickinson Theatres to a group of top Dickinson executives

Dickinson graduated from Texas Christian University with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in
Communications and a Master of Arts in Film. Wood, his wife Patti, and their eight
children enjoy Scouting, tennis, sailing and family togetherness. He is also a published
poet and an accomplished photographer.
