We are very excited to extend a warm welcome to Chris Goldberg! Chris is the founder of Winterlight Pictures, a production company focused on sourcing books and quality IP for film and TV. As a producer, he is developing an adaptation of the #1 NYT Bestseller THE MAID with Academy Award nominee Florence Pugh at Universal Studios, as well as projects at Netflix, Showtime, Lionsgate, MGM, Amazon, and others, with talent including two time Academy Award winner Mahershala Ali, Zoë Kravitz, Paul Giamatti, Connie Britton, filmmakers Bart Layton, Yann Demange, Chad Stahelski, and many others. Chris began his career as a literary scout for 20th Century Fox, where he was directly involved in acquiring GONE GIRL, THE MARTIAN, and THE FAULT IN OUR STARS, all three of which were #1 NYT Bestsellers and #1 at the Box Office.
Under the pen name Max Winter, Chris is working on a sprawling and wildly inventive speculative short story collection. His short story BUNNY NEVER SLEEPS has been optioned to Netflix with Cathy Yan (BIRDS OF PREY, SUCCESSION) attached to direct and Tara Armstrong (MARY KILLS PEOPLE Creator & Showrunner) adapting. His short story RETRO has also been optioned to writer/director Drew Pearce.
Chris is represented for literary interests by Samantha Haywood and Brenna English-Loeb.
