From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rand Ravich is a film and television director, writer and producer. He wrote and directed the 1999 science fiction thriller, The Astronaut's Wife starring Johnny Depp and Charlize Theron, which was nominated for the Best Film category at the 1999 Catalonian International Film Festival. He was a producer on the film Confessions of a Dangerous Mind. He also wrote the screenplay for the Candyman sequel, Candyman: Farewell to the Flesh, and the 1997 movie, The Maker. Ravich is the creator of NBC television drama series Life. He is also the show's executive producer and one of the writers.[1]
He attended Arthur L. Johnson Regional High School, but graduated from a small Jewish day school, Solomon Schecter before attending Haverford College in Pennsylvania, where he enjoyed numerous strong friendships. He majored in Philosophy, studying with greats like Richard Bernstein, Aryeh Kosman and Paul Desjardins. (Professor Desjardin's name, and many other references to Haverford crop up regularly in NBC's "Life") Most importantly, Rand came under the nurturing tutelage of Professor Bob Butman, who fostered Rand's creative interests and pushed him on the path to his writing career. Graduate school at UCLA followed Haverford, and Rand quickly found an audience for his intricate wordplay and thorough, penetrating, psychologically-taut screenplays and dramas.
