GEORGE KOLBER   AUTHOR

After discovering this tragic story during the pandemic, George wrote and produced the feature film Miranda's Victim, the true story of the 18-year-old rape victim whose case resulted in the Miranda Rights.  The award-winning movie's cast included: Abigail Breslin, Andy Garcia, Donald Sutherland, Ryan Phillipe, Luke Wilson, Kyle Machlan, Emily Van Camp, Mireille Enos, Enrique Murciano, Brent Sexton, Josh Bowman, Taryn Manning, Michael Mulheren, Nolan Gould, Dan Lauria, Sebastian Quinn and John Buffalo Mailer. Now, George has reimagined this historical story for the New York stage in the new play which questions the very term "Miranda Rights".  Additionally, George wrote the limited TV series Thrown Upon The World, based on the true story of his Austrian family's perilous escape from the Nazis - this while his wealthy Chinese family watches their estate burn to the ground at the hands of the Japanese. Both families find refuge in the Shanghai ghettos, where classical musicians Walter Kolber and Chao Chen meet and fall in love while performing in concert.  This saga exposes the ongoing generational traumas of war; post-war survival, and the challenges of settling into life in the United States.  This series is based on the award-winning book of the same name.  Kolber also wrote the movie, Mooney, which recounts the events surrounding the assassination of JFK from Sami Giancana, America's most notorious gangster's point of view. Kolber is engaged in many philanthropic endeavors including: holocaust/genocide awareness; victims of domestic violence and sexual assault; and provides education for the economically disadvantaged.
