Shankman has choreographed dozens of films and directed several feature-length films, including A Walk to Remember, Bringing Down the House, The Pacifier, and the musicals Hairspray, Rock of Ages and Disenchanted. His company, Offspring Entertainment (which he co-owns with his sister), produces films and television for various studios and networks.
