Biography
Tom Ortenberg is the founder of One Way Out Media, an entertainment industry consulting and film opportunity fund, based in Santa Monica, California.
Tom spent over 12 years at Lionsgate Entertainment, opening their Los Angeles office in 1996 and serving as President of Theatrical Films until 2009 before leaving for the same position at The Weinstein Company, where he served for the past year. Tom was responsible for overseeing the marketing, publicity, distribution and theatrical acquisitions for both companies.
Tom started his film career with Columbia Pictures in 1985, starting as an assistant in the accounts receivables department and rising to the level of Senior Sales Manager before leaving in 1989 to go to Hemdale Film Corporation, makers of such films as Platoon and The Last Emperor, where he served as President of Distribution and Marketing before joining Lionsgate.
During Ortenberg's tenure, Lionsgate released a string of prestigious and provocative, commercial and award-winning hits, including Gods and Monsters, Affliction, The Red Violin, Monster’s Ball, Dogma, American Psycho, Girl With A Pearl Earring, Fahrenheit 9/11, Crash, 3:10 to Yuma, Away From Her, The Forbidden Kingdom, My Bloody Valentine 3-D, The Saw horror film franchise and the Tyler Perry film franchise, among many others.
Tom led Lionsgate to unparalleled success for an independent film studio, including five consecutive years over $250 million at the theatrical box-office, and over $400 million at the box-office in 2008. The first film during Tom's time at Weinstein was Inglourious Basterds, Quentin Tarantino's highest grossing film ever at the box-office.
Under Ortenberg, Lionsgate received dozens of Academy Award nominations and several notable wins, including Halle Berry's historic Oscar for Best Actress for Monster's Ball and the Academy Award for Best Picture for Crash. Lionsgate also won numerous Golden Globe, BAFTA and many other Guild and Critics group nominations and awards.
Tom is a member of the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences (AMPAS), is a Trustee of the British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) and serves on the Board of Directors and as Treasurer of Film Independent, sponsor of the Independent Spirit Awards and the Los Angeles Film Festival. Tom has been honored with the Leadership Award from the Hollywood Film Festival, been a featured speaker to many film classes and organizations, and was listed #2 in the Indy Power Issue of The Hollywood Reporter. Tom is also on the board of directors of Hope4Heroes, a non-profit organization that serves the emotional and career needs of veterans.
Born and raised in Briarcliff Manor, New York, Tom is a graduate of Penn State University. It was while at Penn State that Tom recognized his passion for film, showing recent theatrical movies on campus to raise money for non-profit student organizations. Tom, Edie, and his two sons, Jason, 14, and Andrew, 12, live in Santa Monica, CA.
