Michael Elias has written many successfully produced feature motion picture comedies. THE JERK starring Steve Martin, THE FRISCO KID starring Gene Wilder, and YOUNG DOCTORS IN LOVE, all were box office hits. His television series, HEAD OF THE CLASS, which he wrote and produced, successfully ran for five years and was sold into syndication. Mr. Elias wrote and directed the acclaimed Showtime film, LUSH LIFE, with Forrest Whittaker and Jeff Goldblum, and directed the successful movie-of-the-week, NO LAUGHING MATTER. In the spring of 2007, his play, CATSKILL SONATA, played to sold-out houses in Los Angeles. Mr. Elias has developed a style of film that is very appealing and will continue to grow much like the talent of Woody Allen, or Albert Brooks. The projects selected from his writings compliment that instinct and talent.
