Early and personal life

Neurauter was born in Innsbruck, though he is now based in Los Angeles. His biggest sources of inspiration as a producer are Martin Scorsese's films Goodfellas (1990) and Casino (1995), because "they were visually stunning, had strong characters and great storytelling". [1]

Career

Neurauter graduated from the University of Southern California's (USC) Peter Stark Producing Program in 2004 and went on to form a production company, Occupant Films, with fellow USC graduates Keith Calder and Felipe Marino in 2005. [1] The three producers joined together because Marino says that they share "similar entrepreneurial spirits". [2] Neurauter, Calder and Marino found their first script, All the Boys Love Mandy Lane by Jacob Forman, through a contact in USC's writing department within a week of founding the company. [2] After its completion, the film was screened at the 2006 Toronto International Film Festival and was bought by The Weinstein Company though it was re-sold and has yet to be released in the United States. [1] Their second project was The Wackness , a collaboration with Jonathan Levine, who had directed All the Boys Love Mandy Lane. [3] On working with Levine a second time, Calder said that "We want to continue working with strong, creative partners and build a long, lasting relationship with them." Neurauter remarked that ""We saw a lot doors open once we sold Mandy Lane, but it's a whole different level to have a movie [The Wackness] released. It gives you a totally different perception in the community." Having completed two feature films, Marino said that "The goal in the upcoming years is to do two to three movies per year." [1] In 2008, he was named one of Variety 's "10 Producers to Watch" alongside Calder and Marino. [1]
