Early life

Levine was born in Long Island. He attended G.W. Hewlett High School in Hewlett, New York before graduating in 2003.[1]

Career

He produced his first movie at 19 years old before founding his own company, Yale Productions, in 2012.[2] Between producing, financing, and distribution, Levine has been involved in the production of over 30 films and was named as one of Variety’s 10 Producers to Watch in 2016.[3]

Levine recently secured an investment for Yale Productions in 2019 from The Forest Road Company.[4]

While production companies have taken a hit during the Covid-19 pandemic, Yale Productions was able to push forward with its release of "Becky". The film made $205,797 from 45 theaters in its opening weekend, finishing second among reported films.[5] It made $192,138 from 50 theaters in its second weekend, becoming the first film to officially top The Wretched at the box office.[6][7]

Festivals

Levine has produced many films that have premiered at various festivals. He made his debut at Tribeca Film Festival in 2016 with King Cobra[8] and was set to return to Tribeca Film Festival in 2020 for the premiere of "Becky" but the festival was canceled due to the Covid-19 Pandemic.[9][10] Another recently produced film, "I Used To Go Here" was to premiere at the SXSW in 2020 but that was also shut down due to the Covid-19 Pandemic.[11][12]

Owing to his experience at film festivals, Levine was interviewed by the Hollywood Reporter to give the inside scoop on the American Film Market in 2017.[13]
