About
David Rubenstein is an Entertainment Lawyer who has been voted a "Super Lawyer Rising Star" for 7 years in a row, an award given to less than 5% of all attorneys. Most recently, David helped raise funding for the acclaimed film, 1917, which won 3 Oscars, and also served as a Producer's Consultant on the highly regarded film, Human Capital, starring Marisa Tomei and Liev Schreiber, which premiered on the red carpet at the Toronto Film Festival. In 2019, David founded Independent Filmmaker Day (“IFD”). Independent Filmmaker Day (www.ifilmday.com) is a film/tv conference that champions the independent filmmaker. We feature panel discussions on a variety of topics in the film/tv industry, and also feature Expert Roundtables, an After-Party, and a Pitch Competition where the winner receives over $40,000 in in-kind services. The panels feature a variety of discussions on film/tv topics by providing practical, real-world advice from those who are part of the filmmaking process. This includes Actors, Directors, Producers, Distributors, Marketers, Lawyers, Musicians, and Executives. Previous panelists include: Richard Dreyfuss, Ice-T, Jason Alexander, Tony Shalhoub, Lou Gossett, Jr., Graham King, Bruce Cohen, Harry Lennix, Catherine Curtin, Thomas Jane, Yvette Nicole Brown, Mark Damon, Mark Koch, Kelly Jenrette, Tim Daly, and more! We now have over 700,000 followers on Facebook - more than 99% of all film festivals world-wide. By comparison, the Tribeca Film Festival only has around 350,000 followers and TIFF has only 250,000 followers. We are a great venue to promote projects.

It’s never too late to make changes for the better. In the excitement of getting their first business up and running, new entrepreneurs may rush through the website-building process, aiming for speed to market rather than a well-planned design. In doing so, though, they may end up missing a few key components along the way, making mistakes that could cost them in the long run. Even if your website is already live, however, it’s not too late to make some valuable changes. Below, a panel of Rolling Stone Culture Council members discuss some of the mistakes first-time entrepreneurs make when building their websites and what can be done to fix them.
