Jon Hurwitz, with Hayden Schlossberg, created the "Harold & Kumar" film franchise. They wrote Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle, wrote/directed/co-produced Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay, and wrote/co-produced "A Very Harold & Kumar Christmas". They first met and became friends at Randolph High School in Randolph, New Jersey, and sold their first script Filthy to MGM while seniors in college. Hurwitz was studying finance at the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School, while Schlossberg was a history major at the University of Chicago with plans of attending law school. Upon selling Filthy, they moved to Hollywood to begin their career in the entertainment industry.
Hurwitz and Schlossberg handled the fourth theatrical entry in the American Pie franchise, writing and directing American Reunion (2012).
They have several other projects in development and nearing production.
