In 1986, Rosenfeld left CAA to become an executive producer of films, including Thrashin', Flowers in the Attic, and work in television with Emmy-nominated Case of the Hillside Stranglers. He moved to Sonoma Valley to share his love of flight, giving new pilots their instrument rating and sending them on their way to their pilots license. He continued his close friendships with Ronald Meyer and industry friends.
