The Writer: Tom Holowach

Once a theater major, I went into broadcast TV, then professional photography. That took me to audio/visual production and eventually into computerized entertainment, then special event production. Produced and stage managed shows at Disneyland, but then moved to Hawaii and managed a 300 seat college theater. Just retired, and suddenly, I find myself sucked into writing a script as obsessively as Richard Dreyfus sculpting mashed potatoes.I just banged out the first 2 hours of what probably needs to be an 8-episode biographical streamer.
