The Hollywood Insider At Brookdale

Meet Cheryl Quarantiello Schnitzler: The Hollywood Insider Behind Blockbuster Hits

Brookdale Community College invites the community to an exclusive “Breaking In” event featuring Cheryl Quarantiello Schnitzler, a seasoned unit production manager and producer whose two-decade career has shaped some of Hollywood’s biggest films.

From Marvel’s The Avengers to comedies like Click and I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry, Schnitzler has worked behind the scenes to bring major studio productions to life. A proud member of the Directors Guild of America, she has earned a reputation as the professional who can make the impossible happen on set—whether coordinating the complexities of a superhero blockbuster or managing the nuances of an intimate drama.

“Cheryl’s story is proof that determination and passion can open doors in one of the most competitive industries in the world,” said the New Jersey Film Academy organizers. “Her experience provides an insider’s perspective on what it takes to break into film production and succeed at the highest levels.”

The event will be moderated by County Commissioner Director Thomas Arnone, offering an engaging conversation about Schnitzler’s career journey, her behind-the-scenes role in film production, and advice for the next generation of creatives.
