Jordan Beckerman

Jordan Beckerman didn’t exactly take the usual Hollywood route—he kicked things off as an entertainment lawyer, hustling for indie filmmakers before swapping contracts for call sheets back in 2017. Fresh out of Cardozo Law in NYC, he dove straight into repping film producers, eventually teaming up with Jordan Yale Levine at Yale Productions. Fast-forward to 2017: the two Jordans dropped their first feature, “After Everything,” and Beckerman said goodbye to legal briefs, jumping in as a full-time partner and producer. Since then, this guy’s fingerprints are all over Yale Productions’ wild growth and indie cred. Since hanging up his lawyer hat, Beckerman’s been on a tear—over 20 films produced or exec produced. Not too shabby, right? His credits are all over the map: “Separation” (with Rupert Friend and Brian Cox), Netflix’s “Stowaway” (Anna Kendrick, Toni Collette), “Becky” (Kevin James, Lulu Wilson), “Chick Fight” (Malin Akerman, Alec Baldwin), and “I Used to Go Here” (Gillian Jacobs, Jemaine Clement, and Andy Samberg’s crew). There’s also “Crypto” (Kurt Russell, Alexis Bledel), “Burn” (Josh Hutcherson, Suki Waterhouse), “Already Gone” (a Keanu Reeves co-pro), and a pile of others. Legal eagle never really leaves you, though—he’s still got production counsel credits on stuff like “Rabbit Hole” (Nicole Kidman), “The Discoverers,” and more Yale Productions flicks. Lately, he’s been busy with projects like the Katie Holmes-led “Untitled Katie Holmes Project,” “Panama” (Cole Hauser, Mel Gibson), “The Survivalist” (Jonathan Rhys Meyers, John Malkovich), and “Rogue Hostage” (Tyrese Gibson, John Malkovich). The guy’s kind of everywhere.
