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 
up-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. (The 
contact 
information on his company is listed in the agents & managers section.)
