VETERAN STUDIO EXECUTIVE GLENN GAINOR LAUNCHES HOLLYWOOD VENTURES GROUP

LOS ANGELES, July 29, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Acclaimed producer and studio executive Glenn Gainor is launching Hollywood Ventures Group, a bold new company focused on global content creation and media innovation. Joining him is legendary entertainment executive Sandy Climan, Founder and CEO of Entertainment Media Ventures, known for his tenure at CAA and as a leading producer and media investor.

With its headquarters at Television City, Hollywood Ventures Group has a dual mission: to develop and produce premium film and television content for global audiences, and to serve as a strategic advisory firm offering media, venture, and infrastructure consulting to governments, studios, and private sector clients worldwide.

Building on Gainor's leadership in sustainable production and studio innovation, the company will introduce a scalable studio model designed to export Hollywood-caliber production infrastructure to global markets. It will collaborate with governments and key industry stakeholders to invest in and develop studio facilities, filmmaker-led companies, technology platforms, and other filmmaking assets.

With a multi-market, networked approach, the company will leverage local tax incentives, co-production treaties, and cost-effective locations to produce globally marketable, multi-language films. It also aims to foster partnerships between established players and emerging voices in underrepresented regions, promoting cultural exchange and storytelling diversity.

"Storytelling transcends entertainment; it empowers voices and shapes our collective future," said Gainor. "By partnering with both established and emerging markets, we can leverage innovative technologies to amplify diverse narratives worldwide."

Climan added, "I could not be more excited to join Glenn and the founding team in launching Hollywood Ventures Group. We are dedicated to building the business and creative infrastructure for global, cross-cultural storytelling."

Gainor brings over three decades of experience and 40+ feature film credits, including his role as Head of Physical Production at Amazon Original Movies and Screen Gems. He also co-founded Sony Innovation Studios, where he championed virtual production and sustainable filmmaking, earning three Lumiere Awards.

Joining the founding team are Nelly Kim (SVP), Gabriel Jenkinson (VP) of Entertainment Media Ventures, and Tejkiran Kaur, coming with Gainor from Amazon MGM Studios.
