In this workshop, you’ll learn: How to Start a Production Company with an A-List Actor. We’ll deep dive with Mark Berger (President of Oscar-Winner Sam Rockwell’s prod co) on how he partnered with Sam and how that’s changed the trajectory of his career. We’ll deep dive into his strategies, techniques, and work ethic that positioned him to partner with one of the most respected actors in Hollywood.

Mark Berger started as an intern at Gersh, which led to a brief stint as Sam Rockwell’s assistant (17 years ago). He then went on to become the assistant to Moises Kaufman (HBO’s The Larmie Project), and then he worked as David Binder’s assistant and Associate. Berger AP’d the Tony Award-winning production Hedwig and the Angry Inch, as well as Of Mice and Men, starring James Franco and Chris O’Dowd. Sam Rockwell’s Play Hooky Productions signed a TV first-look deal with MGM/UA. Recently, they produced the hit play Danny and the Deep Blue Sea with Aubrey Plaza and Chris Abbott.
