From the Valley to the Screen | Adam Goudchaux on Storytelling, Addiction, Hollywood & “On the Record”
What does it take to survive Hollywood, lose everything, and then write your way back?
In this episode of The Global Show, screenwriter and filmmaker Adam Goudchaux shares the raw and honest story behind his journey from growing up in the San Fernando Valley to building a career in film.
From watching Raiders of the Lost Ark as a kid to working in a movie theatre, Adam knew early on, “I want to make movies.” But the path was far from smooth. He opens up about difficult jobs, hitting rock bottom in 2008, struggles with substance abuse, and how those experiences shaped his writing.
We dive into his screenplay “On the Record”, a project born out of the COVID era that reflects isolation, pressure, and the need for authenticity in storytelling.
We also get into:
• The reality of breaking into Hollywood
• Why authentic storytelling matters more than ever
• Technology’s impact on society and communication
• Morality and the current political climate
• Fast fire personal insights and future projects
Adam is thoughtful, reflective, and unfiltered about the highs and lows of chasing a creative life.
If you care about screenwriting, filmmaking, recovery, reinvention, or the craft of telling stories that actually mean something, this conversation is for you.
