Russell Gewirtz

Russell is best known as the screenwriter of the universal studios hit film “Inside Man”, starring Denzel Washington, Jodie Foster and Clive Owen, and directed by Spike Lee.

Originally Gewirtz worked for his father's clothing store in New York, but he had a film idea in his head that lasted so long that he "couldn't stand it anymore".  He followed his dream and three years later Universal bought the script and turned it into a 180 million dollar hit.

While he was working on the script in L.A., Universal gave him a 911 which he then drove endlessly through town as he developed his hit movie idea.
