Career
In 2009 Shulman produced and starred in the comedy/drama Sherman's Way opposite James LeGrosEnrico Colantoni, Brooke Nevin, Donna Murphy, Lacey Chabert. Reviews of the movie cited “Shulman has puppyish good looks and a talent for both slapstick and exasperation. He ably conveys this character's remoteness from the real world, handling self-deprecating, sardonic asides with skill.”[1][2]
With theater shuttered due to the pandemic, Shulman expanded into screen, with several projects on the near horizon. Through his new Sand & Snow venture, he has committed to redoubling his efforts to support artists across all mediums tell authentic and passionate stories.
