It was really a flood of emotions, Horowitz said.
I told everyone in that room…its possible.
it’s possible for you to get out and succeed.
Me standing here is the proof.
Pasen added, What amazed me the most was the passion as storytellers and the diversity of ideas.
The joint venture eventually developed into JIWP.
They will then take part in a six-month program led by Horowitz and Pasen.
Workshops will be led by Horowitz and Pasen, with additional support from NPEP staff.
They will serve on the JIWP Advisory Board along with top industry executives, talent agents, and producers.
Adds Pasen, we hope to change lives, and in turn the TV and film landscape as well.
