July 26, 2007 - Ruvin Orbach is one of Hollywood’s up and coming multi-talented artists. As a writer and director, he’s not only able to create the stories, but he’s able to bring them to life as well.
Ruvin started his career with a small drama entitled "Lucky Man." It starred Frank Vincent (Good Fellas, Sopranos) and Vincent Pastore ("Big Pussy" on Sopranos). The film was featured at Montreal, Avignon and the Hampton’s film festivals. Brian De Palma saw the film in Montreal and Oliver Stone saw it independently and wrote, “Keep going in the direction you are going.” The film has received good press: Newsday called it “A passion play almost biblical in its nature” and the Montreal Gazette wrote, "This drama of obsession and redemption is a killer." The film has been sold for U.S distribution.
Ruvin went onto sign three development writer-director deals. One with the Wu-Tang Clan: a drama about twenty years of Italian and African-American culture in Brooklyn. He later signed a deal on a romantic comedy set in Greenwich Village entitled "Great Sex.” He also signed a deal with FilmStar on a comedy called "How to Catch a Gangster." There was a press conference at the American Film Market and several national press outlets were in attendance.
Recently Ruvin penned a Femme Fatale Noir Thriller entitled "The Glass Cage" that is currently being set up with Ruvin directing. Ruvin is directing a comedy feature entitled "Big Man" in Early Spring 2008 with Paul Provenza (“Aristocrats”) Executive-Producing. He is writing a political thriller entitled "Game Theory" about a game theorist in a New York City think tank who gets embroiled in a conspiracy. He recently directed two documentary style pilots for television that are currently being cut.
Ruvin Orbach is currently paving the way as both a writer and director of drama, thrillers and comedy. On CNN Frank Vincent claimed, “Ruvin Orbach has a great deal of Power as a director.” And the Montauk Pioneer proclaims, “Ruvin Orbach holds promise as a contender in the directorial arena.”
