Jeffrey Ian Pollack (November 15, 1959 – December 23, 2013) was an American film director, screenwriter, television producer and writer.
[2] Following graduation from University of Southern California's Film School in the early 1980s, Pollack traveled through Asia both as a tourist and documentarian.
After three years on the road — and in the rice fields and jungle— Pollack returned to the U.S., dabbling in real estate development before devoting himself to an entertainment career.
[citation needed] In 1994, under the banner of Medina/Pollack Entertainment, Pollack wrote, produced and directed the urban feature film Above the Rim starring Tupac Shakur, Leon, Duane Martin and Marlon Wayans.
Since that time Pollack took a production role on the Fox sitcom Getting Personal and remained behind the camera as director of the 1997 film Booty Call.
