His films are about a wide range of subjects but mostly regular people doing extraordinary things, often against great odds. His previous work includes: A Tickle in the Heart (producer, 1996), about the world’s greatest Klezmer musicians who were ‘discovered’ as senior citizens; Waging a Living (co-director, 2003), for which Rosenstein followed three low-wage families for three years, capturing their attempts to extricate themselves from poverty; School Play (co-producer/director 2008), a hilarious tale of fifth graders pushed to the limit by their grade school play; Sandhogs (producer/director, 2008), about the legendarily wild band of urban miners, without whom New York city could not possibly exist; and Boatlift (producer/director, 2011), a short film narrated by Tom Hanks which tells the epic tale of the 9/11 boatlift that evacuated half a million people from the stricken seawalls of Lower Manhattan.
