Jessica alba exits role at the honest company “to shift her creative energy to new endeavors”, maude apatow, olivia rosenbloom launch jewelbox pictures; apatow’s directorial debut ‘poetic license’ to kick off slate.

EXCLUSIVE : Maude Apatow and Olivia Rosenbloom have partnered to launch Jewelbox Pictures , a film and television production company with an eye towards bold and complex human stories, which already has three films in development.

First up for development on Jewelbox’s slate is Poetic License , which will mark Apatow’s feature directorial debut. Written by Raffi Donatich, the film watches as two inseparable best friends, Sam and Ari, start to unravel as they compete for the affection of Liz, the middle-aged mom auditing their college poetry workshop.

Apatow came to the project after finding herself “instantly taken” with Donatich’s “grounded writing style,” as someone who writes characters and dialogue “with so much love, depth, and humor.” The film, she said, “encapsulates the pressures of growing up, and how those pressures don’t necessarily ever go away. It’s a coming-of-age story for all ages. I think this movie is universal, timeless and has the potential to be something very special. I couldn’t be more excited to bring it to life.” Producers of the indie will include Apatow, Josh Church, Rosenbloom, and Harrison Kreiss for Jewelbox Pictures and Apatow Productions.

Currently starring as Lexi Howard on HBO’s hugely acclaimed teen drama series Euphoria , Apatow has also been seen in the Emmy-nominated Netflix miniseries Hollywood from Ryan Murphy and Ian Brennan, as well as a number of her father Judd Apatow’s films, including Pete Davidson starrer The King of Staten Island . Last year making her professional stage debut off-Broadway in Little Shop of Horrors , she followed that performance up with a turn as Sally Bowles in a West End production of Cabaret . 

With a background in documentary film, Rosenbloom co-produced Peacock’s Stormy Daniels doc Stormy , which recently premiered at SXSW . Additionally, she co-produced the doc Bob and Don: A Love Story , on the life-long friendship between iconic comedians Bob Newhart and Don Rickles, and was an associate producer on HBO’s Unveiled: Surviving La Luz del Mundo .

Apatow is repped by UTA, Mosaic and Ziffren Brittenham
