Jeremy M. Rosen is an American film producer, entertainment manager, lawyer, and casting director known for producing independent films through his company Roxwell Films.[1][2]
Early life and education
Rosen was raised in Ludlow, Vermont, after moving there at age 13 with his parents and older brother. His father was a medical doctor, while his mother owned a clothing boutique.[1]
As a teenager, Rosen developed an interest in entertainment, film, and hip-hop culture. After college, he worked as a production assistant in the entertainment industry before attending law school.[1]
During law school, Rosen began working with music executive and entrepreneur Russell Simmons after persistently seeking mentorship opportunities with him. Following graduation, Simmons helped Rosen secure a position at a Park Avenue law firm.[1]
Career
Entertainment law and talent management
After working briefly in corporate law, Rosen transitioned back into entertainment, functioning as both an attorney and artist manager. He later founded Roxwell Management, named after his childhood dog. Among the company's early clients was musician Frank Ocean, who at the time performed under his legal name.[1] Rosen has also worked, representing clients including Boyz II Men, Aerosmith and Boy George.[2]
Film production
Rosen entered film production through literary rights acquisitions and independent filmmaking. His first major producer credit was the 2016 crime film Dog Eat Dog, starring Willem Dafoe and Nicolas Cage.[1]
In the same year, Rosen met filmmaker John Swab during the American Film Market, where Swab was presenting his feature Let Me Make You a Martyr while Rosen was attending with Paul Schrader's Dog Eat Dog.[2]
Following their meeting, Rosen and Swab began developing film projects together in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Their first collaboration was the crime drama Run With the Hunted, starring Ron Perlman.[2]
Through Rosen's production company Roxwell Films, the pair produced seven feature films in five years, including Body Brokers, Ida Red, Candy Land, Little Dixie, One Day as a Lion, and King Ivory.[2] On Body Brokers, Rosen was also the cast director and music supervisor.[3] One Day as a Lion was Rosen and Swab's seventh feature collaboration and their fourth collaboration with actor Frank Grillo.[4]
Casting work
Rosen is known for serving as his own casting director on many of his productions. He has stated that casting became his favorite aspect of filmmaking after closely collaborating with casting directors Kerry Barden and Paul Schnee during the production of Charlie Says.[5]
According to Rosen, his casting process relies heavily on personal relationships with actors, agents, and managers, as well as proactive outreach to performers he admires.[5]
