Big moves are being made in Hollywood: 101 Studios — the creators of beloved drama Yellowstone, starring Kevin Costner — announced it has secured a first look partnership with PZAJ, an emerging film and television production company.
The first projects set to launch through this partnership include a feature film titled Paradise Found, based on the book written by lauded Los Angeles Times columnist Bill Plaschke. The inspiring story chronicles the small town of Paradise, California, which was ravaged by fires and whose football team rises from the ashes, inspiring the nation with its grit and perseverance.
