Adam Herz moved to Los Angeles in 1996 after graduating from the University of Michigan and began working a string of production assistant jobs. In his spare time, he wrote a spec script inspired by the Eighties films he grew up on and his high school days in East Grand Rapids Michigan.
Universal quickly snapped up the script and a year later, American Pie was a hit. In 2003, Herz made a deal with Universal Pictures to set up his own production company that will develop and produce films for the studio. The company is also a haven for young and undiscovered writers, providing a unique environment to strengthen their creative skills.
