Biography
Ross Katz (born May 19, 1971, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) is an American film producer, screenwriter, and director. He executive produced two defining indie dramas of the 2000s: Todd Field's In the Bedroom and Sofia Coppola's Lost in Translation, lending institutional weight to intimate character studies. As a director, Katz moved between registers—the coming-of-age comedy Adult Beginners (2014), the Nicholas Sparks romance The Choice (2016), and the meditative military drama Taking Chance (2009), which aired on HBO. His screenwriting practice informs a producer's eye for dialogue-driven narrative; his directing credits span independent film and prestige television. Born under Taurus (May 19), Katz embodies the sign's reputation for steady craftsmanship and resource management across multiple roles. As a screenwriter, he works in narrative structure and character development; as a producer, he identifies and shepherds projects through development. Based in the United States, he contributed to the indie film boom of the 1990s and 2000s through both production and directorial work.
