Summary

The Wolf Takes Over Hollywood

The Wolf of Wall Street, Jordan Belfort, welcomes hit writer/director/producer Doug Ellin into The Den to discuss creating HBO's Entourage and how to pitch, brand, & sell YOURSELF in order to succeed massively in business (& life).

Also, JB and Doug dive into the importance of grit & following through on your goals, working with stars like Mark Wahlberg, the Golden Age of TV, and...the upcoming Wolf of Wall Street TV series?

Doug Ellin - Doug Ellin Is an A-list film & TV screenwriter, director, and producer. He is known best for creating the HBO television series: Entourage. Ellin also served as executive producer, director, head writer, and supporting actor for the series – and wrote, directed, and produced its 2015 film adaptation.

Ellin moved to LA in the early 1990s to be a stand-up comedian and soon got a job in the mail room at New Line Cinema. It was there where he befriended film producer Mike DeLuca who funded Ellin's first short film The Pitch, starring then unknown actor David Schwimmer. That short film got Ellin accepted to the American Film Institute, where he graduated from in 1994.

Ellin reached the A-list of Hollywood deal-makers & creators in 2004 with his beloved series – Entourage – which became a cultural phenomenon and industry touchstone. The HBO show ran for eight seasons and Ellin made an eight-figure pact with HBO to continue producing television.

During the show, he flashed his business savvy by striking deals with major brands – among them: Apple, Cadillac, Ferrari, Johnnie Walker, and Tequila Avión.

Ellin has been nominated for three Emmy Awards, four Writers Guild of America Awards, three PGA Awards and a BAFTA, and has won a BAFTA and a PGA award.
