The class has been pure gold.

It’s as though I just got handed a highly sophisticated navigation system through the inner workings of Hollywood!

~ Elizabeth Lee

I’m personally gratified that, in your “Scaling The Great Wall Of Hollywood” teleseminar, you provided us with much more than marketing. I now have “boots on the ground” in Hollywood and more great contacts to pursue. I fear I would have wasted those opportunities had you not had such a thorough approach to teaching us all aspects of selling our screenplays.

~ Terry Herbert

You are a true gentleman and scholar. Just by following some of the great advice you gave us in your two teleseminars, before even taking your full course, incredible career making opportunities are happening. I’ve applied some of your techniques and they are opening up doors beyond my wildest imagination.

I am so truly inspired by your words and deeds as a screenwriters advocate that I can never thank you enough for helping me make my dreams come true!”

~ Dave Kraft (Screenwriter/Producer)

Less than two weeks after completing Gary’s course, I signed with a manager with a great reputation. My new ‘rep’ told me the only reason he continued our initial call, and thus the only reason he signed me, was that I ‘knew how to pitch – something very few writers know how to do’. Truth is, I wasn’t at all prepared for a pitch, but merely used Gary’s technique for logline-based phone pitches. So thanks, Gary, for teaching me how to make it all happen in the real world, and quickly. I now have a team!”

~ DANEK KAUS (Screenwriter)

Gary Goldstein possesses a unique wisdom that immediately dispels your fear. After just a couple of weeks working with Gary I felt free to move forward without concern and for me that was more than half the battle. But, probably the one thing that most amazes me about Gary is his vast quantity of patience and the sincere care in how he deals with people. It is truly incredible.”

~ CRAIG LEW

I will highly recommend Gary Goldstein’s tele-seminars and mentoring programs for anyone who is trying to advance their career in the film industry. Gary is so accomplished and generous in sharing his knowledge with a perfect blend of advice and inspiration. Gary’s compassionate, sincere and professional manners make it a true pleasure to learn from him. I am proud to call him a mentor.”

~ CYNTHIA SPERRY

Gary offers a profound commitment, range of business understanding and true love for the storyteller in each of us. His generosity in sharing all of who he is and what and who he knows moves the unmoveable. I got a consulting deal signed that I’d been working on for six months set to deliver $3.4M to me personally, and also simply walked right into a group who was waiting for exactly what I have to offer in the screenplay I love the most. It is Gary’s brilliant spirit that calls forth no less in all of his students and coaching clients, that makes the impossible possible. Thank you, Gary, for all you’ve experienced to bring so much to us.”

~ KIMBERLEY ALISERI

You have truly inspired me to propel my dream career with concrete steps: feature film screenwriting and production. I’m working harder than ever toward real goals with your winning system. It’s a system whose pattern I recognize from my own past sales success, but which you’ve neatly adapted into a specific formula for the entertainment world. Thanks!”

~ PETE GREENWALD

I don’t have much money and was barraged with announcements for all kinds of seminars, courses, and contests, but I finally decided to join Gary Goldstein’s seminar after listening in to a free phone call. I was struck by the way he took each caller seriously, generously answering their questions, and by the vast amount of knowledge he had of the movie business. Most importantly, he saw it from the point of view of the writer struggling to “scale the wall” to the other side.

He helped in demystifying Hollywood, making it approachable, doable – giving it a human face. He helped me learn how to “scale the great wall of Hollywood,” and taught me to be unafraid of the players, creative in my solutions, and persistent.

I did find representation during the course of the seminar. Maybe I was better prepared ‘karmically’. My investment was well worth it, and will pay off even more in the future, as I put more of his suggestions into practice. Mostly, I’m grateful to Gary for sharing his tremendous people skills. He did not speak to us from on high, as an insider to a group of wannabees, but as a collaborator, who sincerely wants to make it possible.”

~ JUDITH BASSAT

In an industry notoriously inhabited by fast-talking swindlers, Gary Goldstein is an advocate for anyone looking to break into the business, and in full possession of the most valuable attribute of all: trustworthiness. Gary has a genuine concern for the well-being of everyone he encounters and, whether you need encouragement or just some more wind in your screenwriting sails, time with Gary is well spent. He helps speed you to your goal, bringing out the best your craft has to offer. I can make no higher recommendation.”

It’s difficult to imagine a person in the film and tv business of Hollywood who provides greater personal coaching and insight than Gary. I happily and sincerely give Gary – his coaching and teleseminars and any other form of interaction with Gary – my full endorsement. By far, Gary is the best investment I’ve made in my writing career”

~ ALAN REITSCH (Screenwriter)

I appreciate Gary’s candor and blunt truth. I commend him on his approach and that he doesn’t succumb to traditional candy-coated responses. The reality of the film business is that it is challenging, it is competitive, and it is cut-throat at times. For those of us who know we will make it, Gary is a steady beacon reinforcing our conviction. And to those who do not yet know their calling or feel the insecurity of inexperience, Gary is a light of inspiration.”

~ ALAN REITSCH (Screenwriter)

Gary’s teleconferences have been hugely informative. It’s the best money I’ve spent in screenwriting / marketing information yet. Gary has a wonderful personality, and his thoughtfulness and consideration comes through each and every call. He has offered so many add ons to the program that it has multiplied its original worth several times over. He presents detailed, entertaining and useful information in an informal format that has you believing you CAN make it in one of the toughest businesses. Thanks Gary!

~ JACKIE BLAKELY (SCREENWRITER)

If anyone thinks there isn’t any GOLD to strike in California, they haven’t taken Gary W. Goldstein’s “Scaling the Great Wall of Hollywood.” With his vast experience in all dimensions of “The Biz,” Goldstein gently mentors his client-screenwriters, levitating him to an eye level that allows them to not just jump over the wall, but to land feet first in the game. From practical strategies for selling and marketing your work, with group Q&A and 1:1 dialogue…in short, from vision to form, Gary generously shares his knowledge of how to navigate Hollywood (and all that entails) in the most respectful, encouraging, and helpful way. Not only did I discover new avenues for expanding my contacts and generating new conversations for my screenplays, but I was able to cross-brainstorm useful ideas for marketing my book.”

~ SALLY RUBIN (SCREENWRITER)

Thank you, Gary. Your positive attitude and clear instruction have given me a plan of attack which I can pursue with confidence. The examples of “what not to do” were worth the price of admission alone.

~ PAUL CLINGAN (SCREENWRITER)

Gary’s impact on me as a student has taken me to an entirely new level with my work. His positive, kind, insightful, and very specific feedback has helped me laser focus my efforts to reach a far larger, more targeted audience to be aware of my projects. The results are measurable, and his strategies deliver strong positive reception. I am thrilled to have “gotten in the door” to his teleseminar; what I’ve gained here is worth many times what I paid for it. If you have a chance to spend time with Gary – don’t miss it!

~ CARY ELLIS (SCREENWRITER & ENTREPRENEUR)

Gary Goldstein’s class was both a surprise and a revelation. I have learned more about how things really work from Gary’s “Scaling the Great Wall of Hollywood” Class than I have over the past ten years and numerous other classes! Gary epitomizes the philosophy of under promising and over delivering. Personally, I got more than I ever dreamed. Gary’s every word is a gem of insider knowledge. Not only does he give you the scoop of how deals happen, he provides techniques, advice and the latest tools to guide you through the maze to your goal. Gary showed us that, as screenwriters, we are undervalued/underestimated and how to protect our rights in dealing with Hollywood. I have lost my fear. Thanks, Gary!

~ ANGELA FALKOWSKA (SCREENWRITER)

Gary’s success and vast wealth of experience speaks for itself. What really impressed me was his willingness to impart his wisdom so candidly and generously. He comes across as one of Hollywood’s genuine Nice Guys who truly wants to see you succeed. A lot of people talk about “giving something back” – Gary puts this concept vividly and very effectively into practice. I learnt a great deal both from his seminars and through speaking to him one-on-one. For that knowledge – and his heartfelt encouragement – I’m extremely grateful.

~ ALAN BRASH (SCREENWRITER)

I can think of no stronger advocate for the beginning or professional screenwriter than Gary W. Goldstein. He respects screenwriters and honors their contribution to the creative filmmaking process. When it comes to sharing his vast wealth of knowledge, Gary is accessible and infinitely compassionate. I would encourage any screenwriter seeking to navigate Hollywood’s minefield to consider Gary W. Goldstein as a crucial key to their success.

~ PAUL GLEN NEUMAN (SCREENWRITER)

Gary Goldstein is a producer, mentor and teacher second-to-none, and the single most positive human being I’ve ever met. His wisdom is enduring, his manner encouraging, benevolent and charismatic. A screenwriter for years, I never realized how much I didn’t know about the “business of screenwriting” til I took Gary’s powerful and immensely informative teleseminar – ‘Scaling the Great Wall of Hollywood’. His approach and respect for everyone makes all feel special. His incredibly valuable insights and information are practical and, most amazing, easily incorporated into my daily routine. Without abstraction, Gary teaches simple, do-able strategies designed for success. He’s sincere, real, honest, driven and obviously devoted to screenwriters and their career. If I had one wish, it would be to someday work with Gary on a project dear to my heart !

~ MAHREE MUNDING (SCREENWRITER)

Gary Goldstein very unselfishly works with emerging screenwriters to provide his insights both as a producer and as a former manager at the top level of the film industry. He has provided me invaluable mentorship in the development of screenplays as well as a new television drama. His advice is de rigueur for professional-grade screenwriters who have honed their craft and now seek to develop the business aspects of working within the film and television industries.
