WRITER. DIRECTOR. PRODUCER. FOUNDER, TURTLE RUN ENTERTAINMENT.

Tyler Rabinowitz is a filmmaker, showrunner, and founder of Turtle Run Entertainment — a production company that spots what's next before it becomes obvious.

He produced Chappell Roan's debut music video "GOOD HURT" years before her meteoric rise. He produced "LAVENDER," which premiered at Sundance and was acquired by Searchlight Pictures. He produced "THE MESS HE MADE," which premiered at SXSW.

And he also created and executive produces "OUTLAWS" with TS Madison for iHeartRadio — a breakout hit comedy podcast that earned GLAAD and Queerty Award nominations in its first season and booked guests from Chappell Roan to Tina Knowles to Academy Award winner Mo'Nique.

As a writer-director, Tyler makes queer stories with warmth, wit, and a painterly eye for the way people actually talk, flirt, and fumble toward connection. His short film "SEE YOU SOON" (starring Tony nominee James Cusati-Moyer) earned a NewFest Special Jury Mention, a Palm Springs ShortFest Audience Pick, and a Vimeo Staff Pick. His debut feature "BEST MAN" — a millennial rom-com about the beautiful mess of getting it right — was selected for Film Independent's Fast Track program and is currently in development.

Tyler's work has been supported by the Sundance Institute, Film Independent, Tribeca Film Institute, and the Academy Nicholl Screenwriting Fellowship. He's a graduate of NYU's Tisch School of the Arts.

He built Turtle Run on a simple thesis: creator-first, IP-owned, audience-obsessed. The stories Hollywood writes off as "too niche" are exactly what people are hungry for. The job is to find them first.
