The crazy Hollywood life of Rick Pamplin and how to make movies like the big guys with less money.

Screenwriter-director Pamplin was an award-winning print and broadcast journalist (CBS News) in Michigan before heading to Hollywood. He spent 18 years in Los Angeles, writing and selling movies to Warner Bros., Walt Disney Pictures and Universal Studios, writing and directing on the syndicated TV series "G.L.O.W." and making his first feature film Provoked. He later created an independent production company at Universal Studios Florida and developed, wrote and directed a series of award-winning projects including "Michael Winslow Live", "Hoover" starring Academy Award-winner Ernest Borgnine, "Magic 4 Morons," also starring Winslow, and "A Dog’s Life: The Oscar Lose Story." His 2022 documentary "Movie Money CONFIDENTIAL" was a hit garnering glowing reviews from movie critics and audiences alike, featuring Burt Reynolds and Salma Hayek, inspired by Louise Levison's book Filmmakers & Financing. His newest documentary "BURT REYNOLDS: The Last Interview" features Quentin Tarantino and was screened at the Berlin Film Festival and European Film Market in February prior to a Summer 2023 release.
