Todd Goldman
CHief executive officer
Todd Goldman is a three-time Telly Award winning director and has won multiple festival awards for his short-subject and commercial work. A three-time Sundance Lab finalist, he has also been an officially selected filmmaker for the IFP Film Market. His material has been staged and read at the Tribeca Film Center, and also supported by some of the top theater ensembles in New York.
Todd believes in movies that make a difference, and strives to create films that are topical, provocative, challenging and innovative, both in their approach and in execution. “If everyone gets one thing from my work – if they have a moment where they discover something for themselves or about themselves that they’ll never forget, then I’ve done my job. My job is to harness the power of film to move and galvanize people... to advance the state of the human condition.”
Todd originally cut his teeth at NBC News, New Line Cinema and for director-producer Oliver Stone in the early 1990s (“JFK” through “NATURAL BORN KILLERS”). Todd graduated at the top of his class with a degree in film production from USC’s School of Cinematic Arts. He was also a fellow in the highly selective UJF Masterclass in 2011 with over 30 AAA-list creatives and over 10 studio and network presidents including JJ Abrams, Jerry Bruckheimer and Nina Tassler.
Todd is also one of the highest ranking, officially certified Krav Maga instructors in the United States, holding a 3rd Degree Black Belt (one of the first 20 people to ever achieve that rank). He has trained a wide range of stars, civilians, police and military clients, and other Krav Maga instructors, and he is renowned for his ability to inspire and cause people to achieve their goals... both on and off the mat.
