Biography

The writing team of DANNY BARON and CHRIS FABER met at the University of Michigan, where they worked together in the Royal Underwater Shakespeare Travelling Troupe Society. Both subsequently moved to New York City to pursue their film careers - Baron by
attending NYU film school and Faber by attending nursing school at Hunter College. While Baron was at NYU they co-wrote a western comedy called "Hang 'Em Really High, Real Soon," which was directed by Baron and starred Faber. The film went on to receive considerable festival acclaim and eventually led to a writing deal with Paramount Pictures. The pair have since written several scripts, most recently "Queen of the NFL," a sequel to "The Birdcage," for MGM; and a true-life
script based on the legendary hacker Kevin Poulsen, "Everybody Hates The Phone Company," for Joe Dante and Artisan Entertainment. Currently, the pair are creating a TV show for Robert Simonds
Productions and Disney/Touchstone, and writing an action comedy for DreamWorks. In addition, they are both constantly amused by their own cleverness.
