Sebastian Twardosz is the guy you want to know for HELP in Hollywood. He's a partner in Circle Road Films, a professor at USC of Cinematic Arts, a producer, and consummate connector. His entire career has been one of helping other filmmakers find their footing, get a job, or find their focus. He demonstrates how you only need 10 minutes to prove you can direct. Back in the day, it was Sebastian who got Terence his first film agent at ICM. And when Terence decided to shift into TV, it was Sebastian who got him his first TV agent at Gersh. Sebastian knows everyone in town. He's worked at agencies, studios, production companies, and loves to help others.

EP73 - Sebastian Twardosz 10 Minutes To Prove You Can Direct

Every once in a while we all need to get a gut check.

Now Sebastian has been playing the Hollywood game for close to two decades and has ranked up some major experience. Hollywood and the film business in general is a "relationship business". Here's what Sebastian said:"Some of you will be successful and some of you will be less successful—it’s a numbers game, but regardless of the stats, you will likely fail if you don’t help each other."Sebastian Twardosz’s first production job was from 1995-1999 for Tom Cruise and Paula Wagner’s Paramount-based company where he started as an assistant and was promoted to executive, actively participating in the making of Mission Impossible 1-2 and Without Limits.Like many hopefuls wanting to get into the film biz, Sebastian Twardosz started as an agent's assistant in the motion picture department at ICM. He graduated from the USC School of Cinematic Arts in 1993. His short film, Silent Rain, received a Student Academy Award from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences as well as the Student Emmy.Sebastian co-produced the independent feature Small Town Saturday Night starring Chris Pine, and he has been an adjunct professor at both UCLA and USC Film Schools teaching about the art and business of film since 2006.He also hosted a weekly show called The Insiders which aims to shed light on the “behind-the-scenes world of Hollywood” for aspiring filmmakers.
