Director of the Year for
Michelle Wright's "Take it
Like a Man" video. After
that, his career took off.
Over the next few years,
Goldmann divided his time
among New York, Montreal,
and Nashville, building a repu-
tation as one of the most cre-
ative and sought-after directors
of music videos and music spe-
cials. When an offer came to direct the television music series The Road,
Goldmann moved his family to Nashville to join the newly opened office
of High Five.
Goldmann continued to direct videos, mostly produced by Biederman,
and in 1996 joined with her and fellow director Thom Oliphant to form a
production company called The Collective. Since that time, he has won
numerous awards in both the United States and Canada, including the
CMA Music Video of the Year award for Kathy Mattea's "455 Rocket" in
1997 and Faith Hill's "This Kiss" in 1998, as well as twice being named
CMT's Video Director of the Year. In 1999, Goldman opened a second
office in Canada. To date, he has well over 100 videos to his credit that
include acclaimed work with artists like Alan Jackson, Martina McBride,
Shania Twain, and Tricia Yearwood.

"I prefer to say
I have `goals,' rather
than dreams. I feel
like dreams are unat-
tainable, but goals
are something you can define and work
towards."--Steven Goldmann
