Adam Goldworm grew up in Cherry Hill, New Jersey aka Jewtopia. He left
home with starry eyed dreams of fame and success in Hollywoodland. Not
unlike countless others, he watched as his dreams were set ablaze. He
never even bothered to pick up his diploma from UCLA's School of Film
and TV. His breakthrough film,
Las Vegas - Zur Hölle & zurück (2000), which at one point
was among the Hollywood Reporter's "Five to Watch" at the 2000 Cannes
Film festival, now awaits a handful more votes before it can attain its
well deserved status on IMDb's list of the worst 100 films of all time.
At least they didn't steal his sense of humor along with his pride and
his soul.
Broken and defeated, he traded the Hollywood Hills for the hills of
Berkeley and embarked in pursuit of a pointless piece of paper... an
MBA. Creatively suffocated by business school double-speak and
non-profit obsessed hippies, Adam began teaching Intro to Film to
Berkeley undergrads. After all of this, armed with the best
state-subsidized business school education that money can buy and past
production experience accidentally breaking break-away glass, he still
couldn't find a job in Hollywood.
Soon enough, things began to improve. He landed a job answering phones
at Industry Entertainment, a preeminent management production company.
Goldworm quickly worked his way up the food chain; during his five year
tenure, Goldworm climbed from underpaid assistant to underpaid
executive, ultimately serving as Executive Vice President, TV. At the
company, Goldworm demonstrated his keen eye for spotting new talent and
managed the careers of several hot writers, directors and actors. He
also became an involuntary, pseudo-Canadian citizen, having spent
countless months in in various regions (and nether-regions) of Canada,
producing several television series including Showtime's
Masters of Horror (2005),
ABC's
Masters of Science Fiction (2007)
and NBC's Bis aufs Blut (2008) ,
desperately trying (and ultimately failing) to create a new anthology
as fresh and exciting as the "Twilight Zone" (1959) series that he
admired so.
In 2009, Goldworm said goodbye to Industry Entertainment and left to
start his own management/production business -- Aperture Entertainment.
So far, so good...
Goldworm has no plans to change his name.
