About Robin J. Schwartz

Robin Schwartz is an award-winning television producer focused on supporting artists and their singular voices – especially those that have traditionally gone under-represented. Robin is the executive producer of the PGA-nominated What the Constitution Means to Me, the Marielle Heller-helmed filmed special of Heidi Schreck’s Pulitzer Prize finalist hit Broadway play for Amazon. She is also working with Heller on Five Women, a limited series based on the This American Life episode of the same name. Robin is the executive producer of Central Park (Apple), Tanya Saracho’s SXSW and GLAAD award-winning series Vida (Starz), and the critically acclaimed Elizabeth Olsen series Sorry for Your Loss (Facebook Watch). Her current slate includes a limited series based on Joan Didion’s The White Album and Slouching towards Bethlehem, a near-futuristic political thriller for Showtime from Felicia Hilario and Jaquén Castellanos and starring Melissa Barrera, a half hour from playwright Obehi Janice for Hillman Grad and Amazon Studios. She is about to start production on Invitation to a Bonfire, a period psychological thriller from Rachel Caris Love for AMC. Robin’s career began with a hand in building NBC’s slate into Must See TV and has included turns heading up OWN: The Oprah Winfrey Network and Regency Television. Most recently, she served as the President of Television at Big Beach, a division she built from the ground up into a thriving studio and production company. In her off time, Robin works with Girls Inc. and sits on the board of the HRTS. Robin lives in Los Angeles with her husband and two kids.
