Lawrence Kasdan once said: “Being a writer is like having homework every night for the rest of your life."
Yet, somehow, I had to do it.
After graduating UC Santa Barbara with a degree in Film Studies (and winning a Slamdance Film Festival screenwriting award in 1997), I immediately began putting words to paper, writing for anyone that would have me. That led me to interesting places. First, as a journalist covering athletes (like Kobe Bryant) and celebrities for People magazine. Then to digital (as an AOL City Guide extraordinaire) and branded content, where as a Managing Editor at Uproxx, I came up hundreds of creative content solutions for Fortune 500 companies.
There was also a career detour in advertising along the way, where I wrote a lot of words (and a few commercials) as a copywriter and creative director at advertising agencies such as RPA, Wong Doody and Bullpen Integrated, working on many successful ad campaigns over 15 years.
But eventually, I came back to entertainment, where it all started.
Today, I'm co-owner of The Rosenzweig Group, a talent management and production company that represents a wide assortment of TV, film and theater actors. I work primarily in production and development, focusing on everything from original stories to client projects to securing IP. I'm also currently writing, producing and co-directing a documentary.
More about that coming soon!
