Robert Rehme, a film producer and executive in the entertainment industry, has had over 35 years experience in exhibition, distribution and production.
Working as a theater usher at the age of 16 in his hometown of Cincinnati and received his Bachelors Degree from University of Ohio, Cincinnati. His first major position in the film industry, was as General Sales Manager for Roger Corman's independent production/distribution company, New World Pictures, which he served from 1972 to 1978.
After his departure from New World, Rehme was appointed as President and CEO of Avco Embassy Pictures from 1978-1981, which he oversaw the distribution of such major genre films including "The Manitou", "Phantasm", "The Fog" and "The Howling".
After his resignation from Avco Embassy, he served as Chief Operating Officer and Executive Vice President of Marketing and Distribution at Universal Pictures, before rejoining New World Pictures in 1983, when an investment group took over the company from Roger Corman. As Co-Chairman and CEO of New World Pictures, Rehme was instrumental in revitalizing and focusing on creativity of independent film production and distribution, and quickly turned New World into one of the fastest growing independent studios in Hollywood, releasing over 15 films per year from 1985 to 1989. In 1987, New World acquired Marvel Entertainment Group, and also Lions Gate Post Production Services, and television operations.
Challenging economic conditions within the film industry however, eventually forced New World to be shut down. New World was sold to mogul Ronald O. Perelman in 1989, and Rehme went out on his own, joining forces with producer Mace Neufeld to form Neufeld/Rehme Productions which eventually lead to a long and successful partnership between the two.
Forming a production contract with Paramount Pictures in 1990, Neufeld/Rehme Productions executive produced "Patriot Games", "Clear and Present Danger", "Beverly Hills Cop III" and "Lost in Space".
Rehme has also served two terms as President of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, and is also a keen philanthropist. Rehme has shown his dedication and gratitude to filmmaking as a well respected producer/executive during his long and successful career in the industry.
