Rowan Joseph

Producer/Director, Greenwood Hill Productions. The company's first feature, Dalton Trumbo's Johnny Got His Gun, was released and distributed by Magnolia Pictures' Truly Indie. Joseph directed the film, which marked actor Ben McKenzie's (Gotham, Southland, and The O.C.) first starring role in a feature film. Joseph and writing partner, Derek Heeren, have written two feature-length screenplays. "The Pottsville Maroons" is based on the true story of the early days of the National Football League and a local coal miner who traded in his pick-ax for a football to carry his small town's team to the 1925 NFL Championship, only to have it unjustly forfeited. The screenplay was developed as a co-production with the Penny Marshall. NFL Hall of Fame Sportswriter, Ray Didinger, is the film's Story Consultant. Joseph & Heeren's screenplay, "The Hex," is a teen horror/suspense/romance set in the Pennsylvania Amish country.
