News > New Director to Direct Art of Cool

Written by David Morgan

Josh Greenbaum, a graduate student at USC, has been tapped to direct Columbia's The Art of Cool, a high school comedy being produced by Eric Gold. According to Variety, "Story centers on a geeky student who discovers the classic book "The Art of War" by Sun Tzu and literally uses it as a survival guide for navigating the social politics of high school."

Alex Sabeti wrote the original screenplay. Greenbaum was selected to direct after winning Coca-Cola Refreshing Filmmaker Award, as well as the MTV Movie award for filmmaker on campus. There's no word on casting yet.
