The Mission: Bringing "Movies, Magic & Madness" to the Global Stage

Martin Gooch is a BAFTA-winning and Emmy-nominated director, writer, and showrunner with over 30 years of experience delivering high-concept storytelling across the UK and the US. A full voting member of BAFTA and the Producers Guild of America (PGA), Martin’s mission is to blend the technical discipline of major studio franchises—such as James Bond and Harry Potter—with a signature style of "fabulously daft" surrealist comedy.

What to Expect at a Goochapalooza Event:

Imaginative Showcases: Curated screenings of award-winning independent cinema, featuring elite talent like Hannah Waddingham, Sylvester McCoy, and Paul Ready.

Industry Insights: Interactive Q&As and "behind-the-magic" looks at the creative process of a director Terry Gilliam calls "the next Terry Gilliam".

High-Level Networking: Strategic industry mixers designed to connect creators, investors, and talent hunters under the banner of Gothic Manor America LLC.

A Touch of the Weird: From "kitchen-sink" British realism to medieval knights and sci-fi fantasy, our events are a celebration of the unique and the unexpected.

Whether hosting a "Two Date Tour" across Hollywood and Mountain View or launching a micro-budget feature, Martin’s events are a hub for world-class creativity and community. Join us to experience the madness for yourself.

"The most imaginative director I ever worked with." — Leslie Phillips
