The company has a first-look deal with Lionsgate, extending a longtime collaboration between the parties, which began on the 2011 Golden Globe-nominated film, 50/50, starring Seth Rogen and Joseph Gordon Levitt. The relationship continued with 2013’s Warm Bodies, as well as the 2019 comedy Long Shot, led by Rogen and Charlize Theron.

In 2008, Levine made his feature writing and directorial debut with The Wackness, which won the Audience Award at Sundance Film Festival. The film, which starred Ben Kingsley and Josh Peck, also earned Levine an Independent Spirit Award nomination for Best First Screenplay.
Levine continues to be represented by Carlos Goodman and ID PR.
