Skip Press: Article
"Someone to Get You Through the Doors" 

The following is an article written about Dr. Joseph Sinda, By Skip Press: Someone to Get You Through the Doors - The great thing about working in Hollywood is that, when you're lucky, at times you come across people with an access to the business that is simply phenomenal.

Joseph P. Sinda is one such person. Currently the President and Chief Executive Officer of Sinda Entertainment Group, a full services company representing artists, writers, directors, producers, financial ,and distribution corporations. He's done just about everything in the entertainment business, including being Publicity and Administration Director for Warner Brothers.

He developed the concept of "VIP" tours at Warner Brothers, coordinated and created the concept of "First Run Feature Films" on an airline (TWA) while at Warner Brothers, and was Executive Producer on the video, "Don't Stop Till You Get Enough" with Michael Jackson, Joe Jackson, and Quincy Jones.

If you're a massive fan of Elvis Presley like I am, this might impress you. "Elvis Live in Hawaii," the first worldwide satellite broadcast performance for an international artist in history, was something Joe Sinda set up. He introduced Ann- Margret to Elvis, worked with Liberace's tailor to design the costumes the King made famous, and convinced Elvis to do the comeback TV special that put him back on top. He signed Elton John to his first contract for UNI Records, worked with the Beatles and the Jimi Hendrix Experience, and worked for Frank Sinatra personally.

All in all, he's worked on over 200 albums and CD's, including the soundtracks for Saturday Night Fever, Dirty Dancing and Godzilla (1998) which shipped double platinum.

The list of films he helped market including such classics as 2001: A Space Odyssey, Camelot, Dirty Harry, Enter the Dragon, The Exorcist, Godzilla(1998), Star Wars, Superman, and The Wild Bunch.

There's this thing in Hollywood. Once people know they can trust you and that you're effective at what you do, the door is always open. When people have stories to tell like Joe Sinda, people are eager to pick up the phone to talk to him, and he uses that to his advantage. "As a manager," he told me, "I do favors for producers. They owe me, so when I call in that favor and collect, I get my client involved with a film." Of course, you have to really impress him to become a client. "I'm all about style no matter what the story may be," he said. "If I like you and your writing, I tell you. I'm blunt."

Joe shared with me a story about a very famous actor that he recently advised to take most of his salary from gross profit participation starting with dollar one at the box office (something John Wayne, another friend, had done). When the first check came back triple the size of the actor's previous front mega-salary, the actor was stunned and he's been working that way ever since. You don't make moves like this, gain an upper hand in Hollywood, unless you find someone who thoroughly understands all the nooks and crannies of how the system works and can negotiate your best interests.

Whether it's an agent, a lawyer, a manager or anything in between, as a writer you owe it to yourself to find someone who can get you through the doors and get you treated right once you're inside. You'll have to prove you belong there with your talent, but remember this -- people like Joseph Sinda don't make introductions unless they think you have the necessary talent, in spades. It's a town of relationships, and the game is played on the inside.
