Fox Searchlight’s Matthew Greenfield and David Greenbaum have been named executive vice presidents of production, the company announced Wednesday.
Re-upping their contracts for their newest roles, Greenfield and Greenbaum will jointly manage all aspects of the production department reporting directly to Fox Searchlight production president Claudia Lewis.

Prior to joining Fox Searchlight in 2006, Greenfield was an award-winning independent film producer whose feature credits include “The Good Girl,” “Chuck and Buck,” and “Star Maps.”
Greenbaum has been a senior executive at Fox Searchlight for five years, most recently overseeing “Wild” and “The Drop,” and is currently in production on “Wilson” starring Woody Harrelson and directed by Craig Johnson. Greenbaum is also actively involved in the Fox Innovation Lab where he oversaw the studio’s first virtual reality production, “Wild: The Experience.” Prior to joining Searchlight in 2010, Greenbaum was a production executive at Miramax Films in New York and London.
“Matthew and David are indispensable members of the Searchlight production team and the entire Searchlight family,” Lewis said. “We’re thrilled that they will continue to use their creativity, intelligence and production experience to further our goal of making films that are original, distinctive and memorable.”
