Tom and Frank are also producing the script SEA ISLE with Rupert Friend; DESCENT with Tina Elmo and Wildwood (Robert Redford) with screenwriter Mark L. Smith. Catch & Release is also adapting A GATHERING OF SAINTS with Film Nation, based on the book by Robert Lindsay; the famous S. African Apartheid coming of age memoir South African memoir KAFFIR BOY; and the impeccably reviewed NY Times best-selling novel WE ARE NOT OURSELVES by Matthew Thomas.

Frank has an MFA from NYU Tisch School of the Art’s Kanbar graduate film school. He also graduated (BA) from NYU’s Gallatin School of Individualized Study, where he was a photography major. Exiting school, Frank worked as a line producer and production manager, after working as a Teaching Assistant in the Tisch camera department. As his thesis for NYU Graduate Film school, Frank directed and produced a unique documentary, SHOOTING SCRIPT, a personal film about his experience being shot (with a gun, not a camera), in the stomach in New York City in 2005.  Frank has cut his teeth producing, writing and directing far too many short films and nonsensical projects. And at one time played all the roles a proper indie filmmaker should, such as shooter, editor, AD and boom operator. 

Frank also has a foot in the world of Telecom as a partner in Clarion Communications. Before risking a career in film, Frank worked in Venture Capital and founded an incubator for start-up companies, and a nonprofit organization that lobbied on behalf of Arts and cultural institutions around Atlanta.  Frank grew up in Atlanta, went to boarding school in New England at the Eaglebrook School and the Taft School; and has lived and worked in Kenya and Kyoto, Japan as an ESL teacher. He is an avid backpacker and a member of MENSA.  He is on the faculty at the Film & TV department at Savannah College of Art & Design.  He lives on an island off the coast of Georgia, but is often in New York.
