We have a special episode for you today, folks. Please welcome Jeremy Garelick & Will Phelps to The FilmUp Podcast. Jeremy and Will are the co-founders of American High, an innovative production company specializing in provocative teen comedies.
Jeremy is a director, writer, and producer. He made his feature screenplay debut with the Vince Vaughn and Jennifer Aniston vehicle The Break-Up and quickly followed its success by teaming up with Todd Phillips to pen the production draft of The Hangover. He also recently directed Murder Mystery II starring Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston which quickly claimed the top spot in Netflix's movie chart with 64.42 million hours viewed in its first three days.
And then Will is a writer and producer who gained experience at MJZ, working on music video and commercial sets. He later worked for Paradigm Talent Agency, writing scripts before transitioning to become an assistant to Jeremy. Will also produced the first five films for American High allowing them to secure a deal with HULU to produce an additional eight.
