Howard A. Rodman is a screenwriter, author and educator. He is the former President of the Writers Guild of America, West; professor and former chair of the writing division at the USC School of Cinematic Arts;[1] and an artistic director of the Sundance Institute Screenwriting Labs.[2] He is the son of screenwriter Howard Rodman (1920–1985).

Career

In his 20s and early 30s Rodman was a typist, a legal proofreader, a mail-room clerk, a union organizer (for the Committee of Interns and Residents) and the guitarist for various lower-Manhattan post-punk bands (Made in USA; Arsenal; Soul Sharks).[3][4] Starting as editor-in-chief of The Cornell Daily Sun,[5] Rodman has published scores of articles in venues including The New York Times,[6] The Los Angeles Times,[7] Los Angeles Magazine,[8] and the Village Voice (for which he was a monthly columnist).[9]

His adaptations of Jim Thompson, David Goodis et al. for Showtime's Fallen Angels anthology series[10] were directed by Steven Soderbergh and Tom Cruise. Rodman then wrote Joe Gould's Secret, which opened the 2000 Sundance festival and was subsequently released by October/USA Films. Rodman's original screenplay F. was selected by Premiere Magazine as one of Hollywood's Ten Best Unproduced Screenplays.[11] Other films include Savage Grace, starring Julianne Moore, and August, with Josh Hartnett, Rip Torn, and David Bowie—both of which had their US premieres at the 2008 Sundance Film Festival. They were released in 2008 from IFC and First Look, respectively. Rodman's screenplay for Savage Grace was nominated for a Spirit Award in the Best Screenplay category.

His novel The Great Eastern is forthcoming on June 4, 2019, from Melville House Publishing. In March of 2019 the film rights to The Great Eastern were acquired by the UK film company Great Point Media, and Rodman was commissioned to write the screen adaptation.[12]

Other activities

He founded and chairs the Writers Guild Independent Writers Caucus.[13] He has chaired FilmIndependent's Spirit Awards feature film jury[14] as well as the USC Scripter Awards.[15] He is a Fellow of the Los Angeles Institute for the Humanities;[16] a member of the executive committee of the writers' branch of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences;[17] a former trustee of the Writers Guild Foundation;[18] vice-chair of the Committee on the Professional Status of Writers;[19] and serves on several nonprofit boards, among them the Franco-American Cultural Fund,[20] the Los Angeles board of PEN International, and Cornell in Hollywood.[21] He is an alumnus of the Seed Fund Board of the Liberty Hill Foundation,[22] and a former editor of The Bill of Rights Journal.[23]

Honors and awards

On October 31, 2013, Rodman was named a Chevalier de l'Ordre des Arts et des Lettres by the French Republic.[24]

In February 2018 he was inducted into Final Draft (software)'s Screenwriters Hall of Fame,[25] alongside Robert Towne, Steven Zaillian, Aaron Sorkin, Nancy Meyers, Paul Schrader, Lawrence Kasdan et al.

Personal life

He was married to the writer and media scholar Anne Friedberg,[26] author of The Virtual Window.[27] until her death in 2009; they have one son, Tristan Rodman. Their house, the 1957 John Lautner "Zahn Residence," has been widely published. Their work with Lautner in restoring it was chronicled in the February 2002 issue of Dwell magazine.[28] In June 2017 he wed the artist and professor Mary Beth Heffernan.
