Cast & Credits
Directed by
Max Winkler and David Gelb
Max Winkler and David Gelb met in playwriting class at the University of Southern California, where they quickly became friends. They originally cowrote King of Central Park as a play for their final project. Their teacher rejected the manuscript, complaining that the work was a screenplay and not a stage play.The two rewrote the project as a screenplay with the intention of shooting in Gelb's childhood neighborhood in Manhattan. King of Central Park is a film that reflects the filmmakers' fears of the responsibilities and expectations of growing up.
