My Book The Hollywood Hack Is Finally Here

Published 8 months ago • 1 min read

Hey there,

After 10 years of repping actors in Hollywood, I’ve seen how this industry is shrouded in mystery with all the gatekeepers and the amount of misinformation out there. I wrote this book over two years because of that.

​
It’s the book I wish I could’ve handed every client, every actor who asked for advice, and honestly — my younger self. It also has the exact branding strategies we did with clients that booked Apple TV and Netflix series regulars.

I left talent management at the end of last year to focus on film production and distribution. I wanted to take everything I learned — the real stuff, not the filtered, watered-down advice — and put it into something that could help more people.

In this book, I share the tools that actually moved the needle:

  • How to stand out without waiting for an agent
  • How to think like a creative and a strategist
  • The business moves most actors overlook — and how to fix that

If you’re navigating this career path, this book is for you.
If you know someone who is — I’d love if you shared it.

Thank you for being here and for taking a look. Let me know what you think, I answer all emails personally.

– Greg

3 Lessons from Selling a Film with J.K. Simmons This past month I’ve been working on Little Brother, a powerful indie starring J.K. Simmons. Having repped it internationally, I’ve learned a few lessons worth sharing for anyone making or selling films right now.First the good news. We got it it distribution in Europe and will be getting 100-200 screens theatrically, which is huge. Especially since I only jumped on board after they had already sold U.S. rights a year ago. Why is that important?...

Film Updates We've been working hard behind the scenes in moving our projects forward and I wanted to share what's going on. I also wanted to share my thoughts on what's going to be necessary for indie films moving forward especially in a challenging environment that we're currently in. First an update on our projects: Silver: Currently going through another small rewrite. We're super excited where we're at with this one. We have Joshua Michael Stern(director of Jobs), Nat Wolff, and Andrea...

The Bi-Weekly Dispatch Some cool news that happened about 2-3 weeks ago. We got Nat Wolff attached for the role of Jesse in our feature film 'Silver'. You might know him from 'Paper Towns' or recently Netflix's 'Which Brings Me To You'. He was our first choice for the role and he fits it perfectly. But it was not easy to finally get him attached. I want to share what the process was and how long it took: Since we didn't know him personally we had to go through his reps. He has both a manager...
