After graduating from the [University of Southern California](/source/University_of_Southern_California) (USC) [Peter Stark Producing Program](/source/USC_School_of_Cinematic_Arts) in 2004,[{{cite web|title=Alum Keith Calder News |publisher=[University of Southern California](/source/University_of_Southern_California) |url=http://cinema.usc.edu/about/announcements/announcement_2008053045614.htm |date=30 May 2008 |accessdate=27 January 2009 |url-status = dead|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20090225034658/http://cinema.usc.edu/about/announcements/announcement_2008053045614.htm |archivedate=25 February 2009 }}] Calder and fellow Stark graduates [Felipe Marino](/source/Felipe_Marino) and [Joe Neurauter](/source/Joe_Neurauter) set up a [production company](/source/production_company), Occupant Films, in 2005.[{{cite web| title = Keith Calder, Felipe Marino & Joe Neurauter| work = [Variety](/source/Variety_(magazine))| url = https://www.variety.com/article/VR1117991555.html?categoryid=3231&cs=1| author = Morfoot, Addie| date = 3 September 2008| accessdate = 27 January 2009}}] According to Calder, he joined together with Marino and Neurauter because "If you're by yourself in the industry, it's easy to convince yourself you're doing well. Having partners allows you to get an objective view."[{{cite web|title=Trio Trust |publisher=[University of Southern California](/source/University_of_Southern_California) |url=http://cinema.usc.edu/about/news/trio-trust.htm |author=Tella, James |date=30 April 2007 |accessdate=27 January 2009 |url-status = dead|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20090225041037/http://cinema.usc.edu/about/news/trio-trust.htm |archivedate=25 February 2009 }}] Through USC's writing division, the three producers found their first script, ''[All the Boys Love Mandy Lane](/source/All_the_Boys_Love_Mandy_Lane)'' by Jacob Forman, within a week of starting the company.[{{cite web| title = Joe Neurauter Exclusive Interview – THE WACKNESS| publisher = Collider.com| url = https://www.collider.com/entertainment/interviews/article.asp/aid/7089/tcid/1| date = 25 February 2008| accessdate = 27 January 2009| archive-date = 28 February 2008| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20080228161727/http://www.collider.com/entertainment/interviews/article.asp/aid/7089/tcid/1| url-status = dead}}] Working with Levine for a second time, Calder said that "We want to continue working with strong, creative partners and build a long, lasting relationship with them." Neurauter commented that "We saw a lot doors open once we sold ''Mandy Lane'', but it's a whole different level to have a movie [''The Wackness''] released. It gives you a totally different perception in the community." Marino said that, having produced two feature films, "The goal in the upcoming years is to do two to three movies per year."
