Goldberg wrote, produced, directed, and edited the features Scotch and Milk, I Love Your Work, and No Way Jose as well as multiple television projects, notably including the philosophical travelogue Running with the Bulls for IFC.
A multi-instrumentalist and songwriter, Goldberg composed and arranged the music to the film I Love Your Work with Steven Drozd of The Flaming Lips as well as scoring his most recent feature, No Way Jose, and IFC's Running with the Bulls. He also provided a song for the Hebrew Hammer soundtrack.
Goldberg released his first album, Eros and Omissions, under the LANDy moniker. It was released on June 23, 2009.

Earlimart's Aaron Espinoza is credited as having done the final mix as well as having engineered many of the more recent songs.

An early adopter of the now-defunct Vine app, Goldberg was known for incorporating many analog film elements into his six-second "films." He was hired to do forty films for the French company cellular company Orange during the 2013 Cannes Film Festival, during which he made a six-second Vine based on each film entered in competition.
