MICHELE WEISLER has recently developed and produced the feature "Try Seventeen," directed by Jeff Porter and starring Elijah Wood, Franke Potente and Mandy Moore, which premiered at this year's Toronto Film Festival. Her recent credits as an executive producer include "Novocain," starring Steve Martin, Laura Dern and Helena Bonham-Carter, which opened the 2001 Toronto Film Festival; "Soul Survivors," starring Wes Bentley and Casey Affleck; and "Stir of Echoes," starring Kevin Bacon, which marked her second collaboration with director David Koepp. Weisler had earlier served as an associate producer on Koepp's directorial debut feature "The Trigger Effect," starring Kyle MacLachlan and Elisabeth Shue.
Weisler's other credits include co-producing DreamWorks' family film "Paulie," and Paul Mones' independent feature "Saints and Sinners." She also worked as a production supervisor on the hit biopic "What's Love Go to Do With It."
Weisler graduated with a degree in film from the University of Wisconsin, and then began her career as an intern working on Roger Corman's horror movie "The Nest." Rising through the ranks of Corman's Concorde Pictures, she co-produced over 20 feature films, including Jeff Porter's "The Liar's Club." She eventually became responsible for all physical production for the company before branching out on her own.
Currently, Weisler is collaborating with well-known modern American writer Dan Fante in adapting his novel Mooch for the screen. She is also working on numerous other projects, including "The Best Lie," with director Alan Rudolph.
