Elizabeth Allen Rosenbaum is an American film and television director. She is known for Purple Hearts, which became one of Netflix's most watched movies in 2022,[1] musical Sneakerella for Disney Plus, and Ramona and Beezus for 20th Century Fox. In 2020, she directed and executive produced the pilot for the ice skating drama Spinning Out and episodes of the dark comedy Dead to Me.

Education[edit]

Elizabeth Allen Rosenbaum is a graduate of Cornell University. She attended graduate school at the University of Southern California.[citation needed]

Career[edit]

Rosenbaum made her directorial debut in 2006 with the teen romantic comedy Aquamarine, filmed on location in Australia.[2] The film was nominated for two Teen Choice Awards for "Choice Breakout Female" and "Choice Chick Flick".[citation needed]

In 2010, Rosenbaum directed 20th Century Fox’s Ramona and Beezus, a family comedy adapted from children's book series by author Beverly Cleary.[2] Rosenbaum was awarded that year's Women's Image Network Award for Best Female Director for the film.[citation needed]

Rosenbaum directed the 2015 Starz thriller Careful What You Wish For, starring Nick Jonas in his feature film debut.[3]

In 2020, Rosenbaum directed and executive produced the Netflix series Spinning Out, about an elite single skater.[4] Her other work in television has included directing individual episodes of Gossip Girl, Pretty Little Liars, All American, Guilt, Why Women Kill, The Vampire Diaries and Dead to Me.[5][6][7]

In 2022, Rosenbaum directed the original musical Disney+ film Sneakerella, a modern reimagining of the Cinderella fairy tale. She also became known for Purple Hearts, which became one of Netflix's most successful movies ever,[1] but has received criticism as propaganda[8][9] and for "propagating disturbing racist and misogynistic stereotypes".[10] Rosenbaum acknowledged that the US military had demanded and received a rewrite of the script,[8] but said, "I do hope that anyone who’s in any way insulted by it understands that our intentions are very pure, and it’s because we feel like people need to grow and need to start to become more moderate."[11]

Rosenbaum has also taught filmmaking at USC.[2]

Personal life and family[edit]

Rosenbaum resides in Los Angeles and is a member of the DGA, the WGA, and the Editor's Guild. She is married to writer/producer Scott Rosenbaum.[citation needed] Her maternal cousin is Stacy Sweetser, residing in New Hampshire, who runs SweetWater Swim Studio.
