Biography

Drew Brody is founder of the Los Angeles based The Infinite Monkey Project and is also co-founder and current President of The Scholar Group.

The Infinite Monkey Project produces feature films, scripted series, stage plays, and live events. Previously, in 2001, Brody became company playwright at The MET Theatre in Hollywood, where seven of his plays were performed between 2003 and 2006. Transitioning to producing, Brody brought over two dozen new plays, music performances, and dance works to the stage, including the world premieres of Tight Pants by Beth Henley and It Wasn't Proust by Sam Shepard. In 2005 and 2006, Brody received back-to-back "Excellence in Producing" honors at FringeNYC: for the hit show Fluffy Bunnies in a Field of Daises, which was named "Best of Fringe", and for the critically-lauded one-act play, Chess. His first film, Desert of Blood, was shot outside Tecate, Mexico and was the opening night feature at the Beverly Hills Hi-Def Film Fest.

While pursuing his love of theatre, Brody has also been working with students to improve their higher level thinking skills and academic performance. To this end, Brody co-founded the MBA Centre in Paris, the Visions Scholastic Academy in Brentwood, and The Scholar Group, the premiere academic tutoring company in Southern California. His experience includes tutoring hundreds of students for standardized tests such as the SAT, the SAT Subject Tests, the ACT, the SSAT, the ISEE, and the GRE, and in a wide variety of academic subjects: algebra, geometry, trigonometry, pre-calculus, French language, essay writing, world literature, world cultures, mythology, political science, physics and chemistry. He has also taught courses in mathematics and playwriting at a range of grade levels from middle school through college and adult education, including a teacher-training program for middle school math teachers in New York City.

Drew Brody earned a Bachelor of Arts from Cornell University, a Master of Arts with Distinction from The University of Birmingham, England and completed a post-graduate program at the Sorbonne Nouvelle in Paris.

Here is the thing that nobody ever tells you. If you're going to have a life in Hollywood, 99% of the people in Hollywood do not make a living doing the thing that they think that they are doing. If you're in Hollywood because you're an actor or because you're a director or because you're a writer...(Full transcript available to logged in subscribers.).
