MEET THE HOLLYWOOD INSIDER Hollywood is more than a place. It’s a story. Actually, it’s many stories, as many as we can make up in our heads. Simply put, Hollywood means something different to everyone. Your story depends on whether you live there, you like or loathe celebrity, are outgoing or shy, religious or secular. No two people see the same Hollywood. Today’s guest, Harry Lowell, is a man who lives and breathes Hollywood. Not the Hollywood of glitz and glamor, but the Hollywood of creative expression, the Hollywood of storytelling. Harry knew he wanted to tell the kind of stories that live on a screen when he was a kid.

I’m saying that you and I and everyone else create our lives, our realities, through stories that begin in the imagination and are embellished by our minds. Is that good or bad? Willie Shakespeare said it best in Hamlet, Act 2, Scene 2, “There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so.” And our boy, Willie, earned the right to say that. He was so damned good at storytelling! So, what the hell does any of this have to do with today’s podcast? Everything.
