 Mitchell Ganem has spent 20 years of blood, sweat and tears in the film business. In addition to swinging from the highest buildings in New York City with SPIDERMAN as a location scout and manager, Mitchell discovered the ideal stripper lair for Jim Wilson’s WHIRLIGIRL, established a home for the devil with Winona Ryder for LOST SOULS, and cleared the road for Samuel L. Jackson and Ben Affleck while they were CHANGING LANES. Simultaneously, Mitchell has scouted and managed locations for hundreds of national television commercials including spots for Lexus, Daiwa, and Merck. More importantly, he has written and directed extensively for both stage and screen. His screenplay “ELVIS HAS LEFT THE BUILDING” was produced by London-based Capitol Films, starring Kim Basinger and John Corbett, and directed by Joel Zwick (MY BIG FAT GREEK WEDDING). Carla Singer Productions optioned Mitchell’s screenplay SING ME BACK HOME for CBS Television. His horror trilogy THE FALL OF DARK has been often optioned but has yet to be produced. Mitchell was honored as one of the top ten finalists in the 2000 America’s Best Screenwriting Competition for his screenplay KNIGHTSHADE. For Dark Light Pictures, he wrote a screenplay about the Berrigan Brothers. His plays have been produced at theaters across the country and throughout Europe. Playwriting awards include the Playwrights Forum Award at the Spokane Civic Theater and the Grand Prize in the DFAP National One-Act Playwriting Competition. Mitchell has directed TV commercials, music videos and short films including the SMPTE Grand Prize Award winning "It Came From New Jersey.” For the stage, he has directed several of his own plays and the works of others (including Shakespeare and Strindberg). He divides his time between New York and New Hampshire, as well as the film set and the theater.
