Summary

Gary Goldstein has produced some of Hollywood's biggest box-office hits, including PRETTY WOMAN, UNDER SIEGE, THE MOTHMAN PROPHECIES among others, generating over one Billion Dollars in worldwide revenue, receiving multiple Academy Award nominations and a Golden Globe, among other honors.

Long before he produced his first low-budget film Cannibal Women in the Avocado Jungle of Death, Gary founded his own boutique literary management firm and launched successful careers for Matt Reeves (director of Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, and writer-director of War for the Planet of the Apes and The Batman), J.F. Lawton (Pretty Woman and Under Siege, among others), and dozens of other writers, directors and producers in both film and television.

All of whom were unknown at the time.

Gary's book Conquering Hollywood: The Screenwriters Blueprint for Career Success has become the top-selling book teaching 'career' (versus 'craft') for creatives in front of and behind the camera.
