Blume was the founder/co-owner of PostWorks, New York's largest post-production company, and has worked as a production consultant on many films, including Who Killed The Electric Car and TransAmerica. As a pioneer in non-linear digital editing, he helped design and run the post production center at the Sundance Filmmaker's Lab, worked as a consultant to Avid Technology, and has lectured extensively on HDTV, Digital Cinema, and the convergence of television and the internet.
Blume is a founding investor of City Winery, a fully functioning winery and live music venue with locations in New York, Chicago, Napa, and Nashville, and is an entrepreneur with investments in media companies and real estate. He is a member of the Director’s Guild of America and Producer’s Guild of America.
In 2013, Blume directed, co-wrote, and produced the film Tiger Eyes, based on his mother's 1981 novel of the same name. Judy Blume also co-wrote the script, and his stepfather George Cooper served as executive producer.
