Biography

Matt Tabak is a screenwriter, director, producer, former studio executive (at Warner Bros., Paramount, and Disney) and attorney with more than three decades of experience in the entertainment industry. He brings a unique combination of extensive script development, knowledge of industry machinations and packaging, legal expertise, and hands-on production experience in both the studio system and indie world.

 

Even though Entertainment Weekly, in reference to his directorial debut, called him “the long-lost Coen Brother,” Joel and Ethan have not yet invited Tabak to dinner.
