Jonathan
Shoemaker is a founding partner of Centre Street
where his producing credits include the feature
films The Treatment, Duane Incarnate, Face,

Talks About Sex. Additionally, Shoemaker
has produced Last Days of May, co-produced The
Hottest State, The Baxter (with IFC Films), Kill

New York Pilot (for FX) and the upcoming A
Dog Year (with HBO) and August. Shoemaker
has line-produced numerous other features and

Having first come to New York
City in 1990 to pursue graduate studies in
English literature (and secretly write fiction
on the side), Shoemaker’s attention was
quickly drawn to the dynamism and relevance
of New York’s burgeoning independent
film scene. Before long, Shoemaker was
leaving the shelter and seclusion of academics
for the rough and tumble world of film production. Working
in a variety of roles - production coordinator,
assistant director, location manager, production
manager - Shoemaker gained valuable experience
and insight in the production trenches. He
soon found himself line producing feature films
of ever-increasing scope and ambition. |
