SCOTT NEUSTADTER

SCOTT NEUSTADTER hails from Margate, NJ and is a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania. He moved to New York in 1998 and was hired to work in the story department of Robert De Niro's Tribeca Productions, first as story editor, then as Director of Development.

It was there that he met Michael H. Weber, hiring him as an intern in 1999. Though they were supposed to be working, Neustadter and Weber wrote their first screenplay on the company rooftop in 2001, mostly for fun and to make each other laugh.

Neustadter left Tribeca in 2002 to attend the London School of Economics. Graduating with a Masters in Communications, he moved to Los Angeles and decided to try screenwriting "for real."

7 years on, Neustadter and Weber have now sold projects to Sony, Universal, 20th Century Fox, Paramount, and Fox Searchlight, including the recently released "Pink Panther 2" (co-written with Steve Martin) and the semi-autobiographical "(500) Days of Summer."

They continue to write as a team.
