Producer Jason Michael Berman Hits Cannes With New A/Vantage Pictures and ‘Highest 2 Lowest’
Jason Michael Berman hits Cannes with A/Vantage Pictures and Spike Lee’s ‘Highest 2 Lowest’.
His credits range from Sundance favorites like “Nine Days” with Winston Duke to high-profile studio titles such as Ben Affleck’s “Air.” Many of his projects have featured first-time directors and underrepresented voices. While “Highest 2 Lowest” will undoubtedly make headlines, another A/Vantage film speaks to the company’s broader ambitions: an upcoming feature about the invention of Gatorade, seemingly plucked out of an episode of Seth Rogen’s comedy series “The Studio.” The project tells the story of Dr. Robert Cade and Dr. Dana DeCastris, a Cuban immigrant, who helped develop the world’s first electrolyte beverage to keep athletes hydrated. A modern reimagining of Akira Kurosawa’s 1963 classic “High and Low,” the film is set in contemporary New York and follows a powerful music executive caught in a moral crisis after a ransom plot unfolds.
