Synopsis

His first film as a director and writer, Eric Schwab's THE LEARNING CURVE, is the adventure story of two kids who come from completely different upbringings and fall into a world without morals or values. Their lives take twists and turns when they become scam artists and later become victims and pawns in a world full of corruption and trickery.

While THE LEARNING CURVE is his first film as a director, as the protege to master of suspense, Brian DePalma, Schwab has spent years preparing himself for the challenge. He has directed the second unit on such memorable films as MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE, CASUALTIES OF WAR and SNAKE EYES. Schwab designed and co-directed MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE's climactic sequences, especially the incredible ending where the helicopter goes into the tunnel. Recently, Schwab directed the second unit on DePalma's latest film, MISSION TO MARS.
