ABOUT WARREN ZIDE Warren has always liked to take untraditional paths. After graduating with a finance degree from Michigan State, he moved to Los Angeles.

He started out his career with a part-time job assembling shelving units at New Line Cinema. After a month, he was promoted to the mail room where he stayed for a year before landing a job as an assistant at talent agency International Creative Management in the early 1990s. He quit after 2 1/2 years when ICM refused to make him an agent.

Warren set out on his own, with nothing but a bed, a phone and a desk in his rented room, to build a business around undiscovered talent, believing that "movies are writer driven, not star driven."

He quickly made his first sale when a writer's girlfriend sent him "Mango", about a cop and an orangutan, which he sold in 1994 to New Line for about $500,000!

Warren likes to work closely with writers on their scripts, strategizing their careers and helping package and produce their movies.
