He has received and has been nominated for numerous awards as a documentary and news magazine producer, director and writer for many of America’s most respected broadcasts, including CBS “60 Minutes”, NBC “Dateline,” Discovery, A&E and Court TV. He has directed and/or produced with many of the television’s most admired journalists including Mike Wallace, Ed Bradley, Barbara Walters, and Stone Philips. His work has been covered in the NY Times, Daily News, NY Post, LA Times, Jewish Week, and other print media in the U.S., Canada and worldwide.   Rosmarin’s work is characterized by its compelling subjects presented with integrity and an obvious passion and desire for truth and justice. “That’s the Law” (CBS “60 Minutes”) exposed sub-standard medical care in the Federal prison system. “Withholding Information” (CBS “Street Stories”) exposed the relentless tax collection policies of the Internal Revenue Service. “The French Connection” (NBC “Dateline”) revealed the complicity of Vichy France in deporting tens of thousand of French Jews to their deaths in Nazi concentration camps during WW II. “How Sweet Is It” (CBS “60 Minutes”) investigated the perils of the artificial sweetener “NutraSweet” (Aspartame) and the regulatory corruption inside the Food and Drug Administration. “A good documentary must inform, captivate and motivate”, he believes, and indeed, many of his programs have inspired social or regulatory reform. After a successful career as an editor at ABC ”20/20,” working on many award winning news and documentary reports on subjects ranging from the civil war in Guatemala to the terror attacks at the 1972 Munich Olympics to profiles of celebrities such as director Steven Spielberg, Rosmarin turned to writing and producing. He wrote two feature length screenplays, “Berlin Blues” and “The Dimona File,” both political thrillers which were placed under option. Soon thereafter, Rosmarin began producing, directing and writing for many of America’s top prime time broadcasts including: CBS “60 Minutes,” “48 Hours” and NBC “Dateline.” Many of his reports garnered wide critical acclaim and attention by legislators, regulators, print and broadcast media and law enforcement agencies in the U.S. and abroad. With the proliferation of Cable TV, Rosmarin began producing for major cable outlets such as Discovery, A & E and Court TV. He has made documentaries on subjects ranging from the cutting edge medicine (“Vital Breakthroughs: Gene Therapy”) to profiles of mass murderers (“Mug Shots: Charles Manson”). Rosmarin has also produced many industrials and fundraising films for a wide range of high profile clients including Salomon Smith Barney, Ogilvy Public Relations and the Weizmann Institute of Science. “Blood and Tears,”  Rosmarin’s first feature documentary, utilizes dramatic file footage, original interviews, graphics, animation, photographs and documents to reveal the true history of the Arab-Israeli conflict. Now, with a team of Middle East experts, he brings his experience to the sensitive and compelling subject of this intractable conflict, with the hope, as always, of uncovering the truth behind the hype and headlines of the day’s events. Since its completion, "Blood and Tears” has received much attention and critical acclaim from all quarters. It has been called the definitive film on the Arab-Israeli conflict. “Blood and Tears” is distributed by THINKFilm, the academy award winning distribution company.

Dennis Ross, Mideast Envoy, Clinton Admin. “…A remarkable achievement,” Prof. Bernard Lewis, Islamic Scholar, Princeton Univ. “…A powerful, must-see film,” Prof. Akbar Ahmed, Islamic Studies Chair, American Univ. “…Unbiased and clear-sighted,” Bret Stephens, Wall Street Journal “…First-rate,” Tom Bettag, Senior Executive Producer, ABC News “Nightline.” Mr. Rosmarin has lectured extensively at colleges, universities and community centers across the U.S on a variety of subjects including documentaries, television, broadcast journalism, media and the Middle East.  He lives with his family in New York. ******************************************************************************************************** Contact: Concord Media Group, Inc.
