to head up a new division focused on scripted and non-scripted features and series inspired by true stories. Goldston will serve as President of the new group.
The veteran journalist and storyteller spent 18 years at ABC News, including seven years as President, overseeing all aspects of the news division, including No. 1 rated.
After leaving ABC News in 2021, Goldston founded Aquitania Films, creating documentary series for the US, UK and global market. Last year he also brought his story-telling acumen to producing the January 6 hearings in Washington DC. Aquitania’s extensive development slate will join Goldston and his team at Candle Media.
“We have known James for many years, through our collective time together at Disney, said Candle Media co-founders Mayer and Staggs. He is a world class storyteller, with a unique ability to turn real life stories into engaging, premium content across a variety of formats and platforms. We look forward to working with him to integrate and expand these capabilities as part of Candle.”
The launch of Goldston’s new non-fiction division is the latest in a series of initiatives at Candle Media, following the acquisitions of Hello Sunshine and Moonbug Entertainment in 2021 and eight additional acquisitions in the company’s first 12 months of operations. Candle is now home to close to 1,000 employees, with offices in Los Angeles, London, New York, Nashville, Montreal, Mexico City, Tel Aviv, and Singapore.
