His paternal half-siblings are Stephanie and cinematographer John Schwartzman, while his maternal half-brother is Matthew Shire.

In his first semester at college, Schwartzman wrote songs in his dorm room and flew home every month to perform new material for Rooney.

The hour-long documentary features interviews with the band and live performances from Los Angeles.

All profits from the sale of the album will be donated to the Tibetan Healing Fund, to help build a new birthing center.

In 2016, Schwartzman wrote and directed Dreamland, starring Johnny Simmons and Amy Landecker.

In 2020, Utopia Media announced the launch of Altavod, a platform for filmmakers to more easily distribute and profit from their films.

Altavod originally launched in partnership with Unanimous Media’s[12] documentary Jump Shot,[13] a documentary that uncovered the inspiring true story of the forgotten basketball legend who developed, pioneered, and popularized the modern-day jump shot.

The film made its belated Blu-ray and 4K Ultra HD debut in May 2020, from Vinegar Syndrome[15] and Utopia Distribution.
