Early life and career [ edit ]
Makowsky was born in Bayside, New York , and raised in the Long Island suburb of Roslyn . In 2004, while he was in the seventh grade at the Roslyn Union Free School District , school superintendent Dr. Frank Tassone and various administrative colleagues were arrested in what would become the largest public school embezzlement in American history .[4]
Makowsky graduated from Roslyn High School and Brown University , then moved to Los Angeles to pursue a career as screenwriter.[4] [5] His first feature film credit was the independent dark comedy Take Me , which was produced by the Duplass brothers and distributed by Netflix . He then wrote and produced his second film, I Think We're Alone Now , which was helmed by Reed Morano and starred Peter Dinklage and Elle Fanning .[6] The film screened at Sundance Film Festival in 2018 .
In 2016, Makowsky returned to his hometown to research the events of the Roslyn school scandal. Makowsky noted that he "outlined the majority of the script out of my high school cafeteria.”[7] The resulting film, Bad Education , starred Hugh Jackman as former Roslyn superintendent Frank Tassone, as well as Allison Janney and Ray Romano . It premiered at the 2019 Toronto International Film Festival , where it was acquired by HBO Films for a sum close to $20 million.[1] The film went on to win the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Television Movie in 2020, with Makowsky honored as part of the creative team.[8]
Both I Think We're Alone Now and Bad Education were featured on the Black List , an annual survey of popular industry scripts, in 2016.[6] In 2019, Makowsky was recognized as one of Forbes ' 30 Under 30 in the Hollywood & Entertainment category.[9]
