JASON BLUMENTHAL
 JASON BLUMENTHAL (Producer) was born and raised in Los Angeles and attended Syracuse University's Newhouse School of Communications.
After graduation, Blumenthal joined Wizan/Black Films in 1990. There, he was involved with the development and production of “Iron Eagle II,” “Split Decisions,” “The Guardian,” “Short Time” and “Class Act.” The company executive produced “Becoming Colette,” “Fire In The Sky,” “Wrestling Ernest Hemingway,” “Dunston Checks In,” “A Family Thing” and “Bio Dome.”
Jason Blumenthal was senior vice president of feature production at Mandalay Entertainment, a division of Sony Pictures Entertainment, from the company's inception in 1995 through March of 1998. During his tenure, he managed Mandalay's production slate which included such films as “The Fan” starring Robert De Niro and Wesley Snipes, “Donnie Brasco” starring Al Pacino and Johnny Depp and “Seven Years In Tibet” starring Brad Pitt.
The company also produced “I Know What You Did Last Summer,” which remained the #1 box office film for three weeks and grossed more than $130 million worldwide, as well as its sequel, “I Still Know What You Did Last Summer.” Blumenthal also oversaw “Les Miserables,” “Wild Things,” “Gloria” and “Deep End of the Ocean.”
In April 1998, Blumenthal and his partner, Todd Black, formed Black & Blu Entertainment and entered into a first look production deal with Sony Pictures Entertainment. In 2001, Black & Blu merged with the Steve Tisch Company (“Forrest Gump”) to become Escape Artists, while still maintaining their Sony deal. Escape Artists has since produced “A Knight's Tale” starring Heath Ledger, and “Antwone Fisher” directed by and starring Denzel Washington. The company is currently in pre-production on several films including “Nautica,” to be directed by Stephen Hopkins, and “Diary” with Jennifer Aniston.
