Rob Levine | Executive Board Member & Treasurer
A native New Yorker and graduate of Columbia University and NYU Film, Rob Levine began his career at The Image Bank’s newly-acquired film division. After moving to Los Angeles and working as a Story Analyst for New Line Cinema, he began a fifteen year stint as a Production Executive at Universal Television.
While working for Emmy-winning producer Dick Wolf at Universal, Rob helped to assemble an ace writing staff for a stable of hit shows that included Law & Order, New York Undercover, Mann and Machine, and Players. Rob was then offered the opportunity to run legendary actor Peter Falk’s production company. Rob was responsible for developing the last three Columbo movies for ABC as well as Falk’s film and stage projects – including Arthur Miller’s Mr. Peter’s Connections, Jon Favreau’s Made, and Paul Reiser’s The Thing About My Folks.
A voting member of the Television Academy and a Steering Committee member of the Caucus for Producers-Writers-Directors, Rob has written more than a dozen screenplays and teleplays, including Seven Days In Utopia, starring Academy Award winners Robert Duvall and Melissa Leo. Rob also co-wrote Fire On The Mountain, a surfing/skiing movie inspired by and featuring the music of the Grateful Dead. Rob most recently served as Executive Producer on the feature documentaries Who Are The Marcuses? and Fioretta and is excited to continue working with the Grateful Film Fund team on a slate of socially impactful and environmentally-conscious programming.
