Tom Schulman's House

is an American screenwriter best known for his semi-autobiographical screenplay Dead Poets Society. The film won the Best Screenplay Academy Award in 1989, and was nominated for Best Picture and Best Director (Peter Weir).

Schulman earned a BA in philosophy from his hometown university, Vanderbilt.

He was hired to rewrite the hit movie Honey, I Shrunk the Kids shortly before the film was due to begin shooting; Schulman had just seven days to turn it from a drama into a comedy.

Other scripts written or co-written by Schulman include comedies Welcome to Mooseport, What About Bob?, Second Sight (which Schulman sold the same day as Dead Poets Society) and Holy Man, which stars Eddie Murphy.

In 2009, Schulman was elected vice president of the Writers Guild of America, West.

He is a member of Riviera Country Club and donated to their caddy gofundme for coronavirus relief.
