When I wrote, produced, and directed my first movie in 2011 I found out that the most wonderful word in this industry is "possible".

Can we appreciate how much money you would need to have Mr. Goldstein sit down and give you pro tips for an hour, and yet here we are listening to priceless advice?

This channel is criminally underrated.
Thnx FC

[JeffMesserman]

What a lovely gentleman Mr. Goldstein is. His golden nuggets of wisdom have already paid dividends for me, not just in my creative endeavors but in my daily life as well. Eternally grateful to you Film Courage folks, as always!

[super-eth]

Netflix: So you got a new movie idea for me.
Me (after watching this video): Yes sir I do....

[bigmanplus]

Another thing to note is this: listen to this guy’s voice, it’s like warm honey. Imagine how much easier it becomes to befriend or influence people if you can speak like this. People skills are a huge plus!

Thank you for this interview. Gary Goldstein is one of my favorites among your guests. There's so much wisdom he imparted in this short clip. The importance of patience, persistence, humility, networking, openness, persuasion, asking the right questions, and being also strategic at the same time. I've heard a lot of stories from writers where they get the highest praises almost perfect descriptions of their scripts from the readers/producers only to get rejected in the end. I think it's not a bad idea to ask "why?" after a rejection because that's the only way to know how to improve your script or change your strategy in pitching. Can't wait to see the full version of this interview!

How to pitch a movie to Netflix:

"Noah Centineo does something."

[citizenbobx]

So tell Netflix you just wanna be friends. Ok, got it.

[filmcourage]

Do you think it's impossible to pitch a movie idea to Netflix?

[Sweet_Karma]

Gary is extremely insightful and straight to the point, just like David F Sandberg and Shannan Johnson! You have amazing guests 😁

[dsladslosangeles]

a true friend... working your relation with him because of an interest

[JordanMeher]

I can attest, this information is 100% accurate. I have a cartoon series that's being considered by one of the big five studios as I type this.

[Thenoobestgirl]

Interesting.

Can you do an interview with someone who's in the business but lives somewhere other than Hollywood?

[jonathanmartin-ives]

This was so cool.... First Steven Spielberg crashes a studio gate to get his start, now Gary crashes Steven's briefcase. Love it!🧳

[edwitvnz]

I just today started to act on an idea that I was unsure and nervous about pursuing for a Netflix type series, this has made me realise how tough it is to see your idea through. Ground zero is where I am starting at present but I believe it is possible to make a connection with someone who believes in your idea as much as you do.

[arthurpena]

Its not what you know its who you know its about networking from inside the industry NOT the outside ...makes sense great video.

[therunawayrascal]

good to see Gary again. thank you both!

[MikelGCinema]

I am trying to get my feature into Netflix, this is huge advice from a smart man. Thank you!

[pamelademorest]

What a lovely man! I love his simple and very hopeful message spoken to us and not at us.

[ronineditor]

The KEY thing he said is to want a MUTUAL relationship with someone you reach out to. The biggest turn-off is when someone just wants, wants, wants from someone and doesn't offer anything in return. "I want to pitch to you, " "I want your contacts, " "I want your financing." These people are so transparent and it's so tacky. Honestly, when Gary was talking about how to find someone that you need, then try to cultivate a relationship... I was irritated because it's, again, ONLY reaching out to someone because they can do something for you. However, when he said "mutual" relationship, then it's a lot better.
