SIDNEY SHERMAN Producer SIDNEY SHERMAN (Producer) received his Bachelor of Arts degree in Political Science from UCLA in 1989. Sherman began his career as a development assistant to David Anspaugh and Angelo Pizzo, the filmmakers behind the critically acclaimed film, "Hoosiers," starring Gene Hackman and Dennis Hopper. After one year, Sherman joined Academy Award-winning producer Arnold Kopelson as the Director of Development. As an executive, he worked on such projects as "Out for Justice," starring Steven Seagal; "Falling Down," starring Michael Douglas and Robert Duvall; and "The Fugitive," starring Harrison Ford and Tommy Lee Jones. Seeking to gain more hands-on production experience, Sherman left Kopelson Productions to form Rosa Entertainment, an independent commercial and film production company. At Rosa, he has produced public service announcements for UCLA's Outreach Program, AIDS Project Los Angeles, and The Jewish Federation. Sherman also supervised the Emmy award-winning documentary, "The Legend of Billy the Kid" for the Disney Channel, as well as the documentary, "Wild Bill Hollywood Maverick" for Turner. He also wrote, produced, and directed the New York Festival Bronze Medal-winning short subject film, "The Tunnel" which has screened at over 25 international film festivals. Moreover, Sherman worked with Steven Spielberg's Survivors of the Shoah Visual History Foundation as a production consultant on a number of projects including the recent Academy Award Winner for Best Documentary, "The Last Days" which is currently airing on HBO, the Emmy award-winning documentary, "Survivors of the Holocaust" for Turner Original Productions, and "The Lost Children of Berlin" for A&E Television. Recently, Sherman produced, "Stand and Be Counted," a documentary series with partner, Todd Robinson, which focuses on the role of popular music in social activism, and features interviews with many folk and rock musicians, including Joan Baez, Sting, Michael Stipe, Bonnie Raitt, Jackson Browne, Jimmy Buffet, Elton John, and Melissa Etheridge to name just a few. The film debuted on TLC in the Fall of 2000 as a two-part series. Previously, Sherman produced the Academy Award Finalist for Best Documentary Feature "Amargosa." The documentary deals with the life of artist and dancer, Marta Becket. At the age of 76, Marta continues to amaze sold-out audiences each week with her ambitious performances in the desolate, desert of Death Valley, California. Sherman recently completed producing a new documentary entitled, "Go Tigers!" which chronicles the entire 106th season of the famed Massillon High School football team in Ohio. The film is making its world premiere at the 2001 Sundance Film Festival.
