Mark
Elijah Rosenberg is Founder & Artistic Director of ROOFTOP FILMS.
He was born and raised in New York City and received his BA from Vassar
College. Mark has built Rooftop Films into one of the most innovative
film companies in the country—a cutting-edge outdoor film festival,
a forward-thinking film production collective, and a full-service
media center. Rooftop has shown over 1,400 films to more than 80,000
audience members, and has supported 60 emerging filmmakers through
the Rooftop Filmmakers’ Fund. As a curator and filmmaker in
his own right, Mark's taste and work favor low-budget, personal cinema.
Mark has written and directed numerous short films, is currently at
work on an astronaut narrative, and was a producer on the Emmy-award
winning documentary show "IMNY." Mark was a juror at the
2007 Sundance Film Festival, is the second baseman for the New York
Giants amateur baseball team, and the proud father of a dog named
Rizzo. |
