# Andrew Kosove

Andrew A. Kosove is an American film and television producer who has been a producer or executive producer on 35 films. He was nominated for an Academy Award for the film The Blind Side. Alongside his producing partner, Broderick Johnson, he is the co-founder and co-CEO of Alcon Entertainment, a Los Angeles–based film and television production and financing company. Kosove is also an avid marathon runner and triathlete.

## Early life

Kosove graduated from Princeton University in 1992. He became friends with Broderick Johnson in college. He is of Jewish descent.

## Career

Kosove and Johnson moved to Los Angeles, California, where they started a film production company with financial capital from Frederick W. Smith, the founder and chairman of FedEx. The company became known as Alcon Entertainment. Their first feature film, Lost & Found, had limited box office returns, but their second film, My Dog Skip, cost only $7 million to produce and grossed $34M domestically. Alcon's other productions include P.S. I Love You, Dude, Where's My Car?, The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, The Book of Eli, Insomnia (the first studio distributed film for director Christopher Nolan), and Denis Villeneuve's Prisoners.
In 2009, Kosove and Johnson produced Alcon's The Blind Side, which became the highest grossing sports film of all time. The film was nominated for a Best Picture Oscar and earned Sandra Bullock the Academy Award for Best Actress. The following year, Alcon Entertainment produced and financed Dolphin Tale, another modestly budgeted family film that grossed $100M in worldwide box-office.
In December 2015, the Federal Bureau of Investigation discovered that Kosove was the source of Quentin Tarantino's Western film The Hateful Eight being leaked online via DVD screener. Kosove responded by issuing the following statement: "The screener copy of ‘The Hateful Eight’ that was sent to me at Alcon Entertainment never touched my hands nor was I aware that it had been delivered." He added, "We're going to do more than cooperate with the FBI. We're going to conduct our own investigation to find out what happened."
Kosove was nominated for an Emmy Award as an executive producer on the documentary, Sinatra: All or Nothing At All (directed by Alex Gibney) in 2015. He is also an executive producer of the sci-fi series, The Expanse.
