to life, giving filmmakers the means to
realize them.”
and your vision
Dedicated to helping emerging directors find their voices and veteran filmmakers realize their passion projects, Whitewater Films believes that combining enthusiasm, insight and support along with over 25 years of production experience creates a business model that is very attractive in today’s marketplace of mega-budget movies.


This combination enables Whitewater Films to produce movies that have as their signature a strong script, riveting performances from ensemble casts, an attention to detail not commonly found in smaller films and a visual look that belies the films’ economical budgets.
While recognizing that the movie business is a business, the philosophy of the company is that a work of art and a work of commerce can be combined in the same project without sacrificing objectives on either side of the aisle.

Whitewater Films was born out of Rosenthal’s filmmaking philosophy, likened to a whitewater river-running expedition where the rapids often offer up unexpected challenges. Despite thorough preparation, film productions are inevitably pulled into uncharted territory. When this happens, Whitewater Films excels at navigating these unforeseen challenges, enabling filmmakers to reach their greatest potential.
