Paul Rosenberg, producing partner in Writers Boot Camp productions, and Jeffrey Gordon, Writers Boot Camp, Inc. founder, met through the Peter Stark Motion Picture Producing Program, an MFA at USC Film School. After graduating from Stark, Paul subsequently spent ten years apprenticing under five of the most prolific, award-winning producers of all time. Paul’s vast network in the entertainment business includes the heads of studios and agencies, as well as A-list talent. He is founder of four successful multi-media production companies.
While attending the Peter Stark Producing Program at USC film school, Paul served as a network intern, under Barry Diller, Peter Chernin and Kevin Wendle, for the start-up channel, Fox Broadcasting. Upon graduation, Scott Rudin recruited Paul to be his first assistant. Shortly thereafter, Paul was promoted to Associate Producer on “The Addams Family.” Paul then went to work for Ray Stark as his Director of Development. After a year, he was promoted to Vice President. This position led to Paul becoming Vice President of Production at Imagine Entertainment, where he worked under Brian Grazer, and played a significant role in the development of “Apollo 13,” “The Nutty Professor,” and “Liar Liar.” Based on his performance at Imagine, Paul was recruited by Harvey and Bob Weinstein specifically to help launch Dimension Films, the sister genre company to Miramax.
After two years as Senior Vice President at Dimension, Paul started his own production company, Saratoga Entertainment. Within six months, he put the critically-acclaimed feature film, “Go,” into production. GO was written by John August (CHARLIE’S ANGELS, BIG FISH), directed by Doug Liman (SWINGERS, THE BOURNE IDENTITY) and released wide by Columbia Pictures. With the momentum generated by “Go,” Paul set up various film projects at all the major studios. In 1999, Paul was named one of Variety’s “Top 10 Producers to Watch.” In 2000, Paul became CEO of CRAPtv, a low-budget internet production company specializing in music videos, reality tv, and live performance events for Comedy Central, POP.com and Wirebreak. In 2001, Paul co-founded Collision Entertainment and Carbon6 videogames. Collision was a four-year joint venture with Dimension Films and Abandon Entertainment that specialized in cross platform franchise properties for film and television. Carbon6 was a videogame company, created with American Mcgee, that produced the “Spy Kids” videogame.
Paul's road to the entertainment business took him through the competitive worlds of World Cup skiing, U.C Berkeley, and Wall Street. After high school, Paul earned a spot on the US Freestyle Ski Team, and was ranked in the world’s top ten, for four years. Succeeding that, Paul attended UC Berkeley, where he earned a near 4.0 GPA as a finance and computer science major, graduating with Summa Cum Laude and Phi Beta Kappa honors. Upon graduation, Paul was one of the few undergraduate students to be offered a sales associate position at Goldman Sachs in New York City. During his two years in Manhattan, Paul became captivated by the arts. Subsequently, he decided to turn down his acceptances to Harvard, Stanford, and Wharton business schools in order to relocate to Los Angeles to pursue a career in the entertainment industry.
