JOWY Productions talks Awards Season with The Hollywood Reporter
JOWY Productions was included in a recent article in The Hollywood Reporter where event industry vendors discussed how the pandemic has affected business during Awards Season. Despite the gloomy testimonials and the fact that many in our beloved industry are still reeling from a devastating year it was an honor to be featured and to share our story.
It’s widely recognized that the event industry has been hit hard by the effects of Covid-19 and many businesses are struggling to stay afloat. The Hollywood Reporter article emphasizes that the virtual season has delivered a painful, big hit to our industry. This year's nonexistent party scene has left everyone - from makeup artists and event planners to hotels and catering companies acutely aware of just how important Awards Season is - not only financially but also creatively.
As society reopens, people emerge thirsty for social interaction and eager to make up for lost time. One can only hope that the trials of the past year have provided us all with a more humble attitude towards life in general, but also a sense of gratitude that we get to be a part of the creative world of events. We now know more than ever that it’s a privilege to work and to be a part of this amazing community.
As 2021’s much delayed Awards Season wraps up this weekend with the Oscars, we’ll celebrate the outstanding performances of the past year, but also the fact that we got to experience a Virtual Awards Season - the first and hopefully last in our lifetime.
Next Awards Season we hope to be back at full speed doing what we love the most - producing incredible events alongside our talented vendor colleagues and friends. We can’t wait to see the magic that is bound to happen once designers, producers, artists, florists, and talented teams come together again after staying at home for a year. The built up creativity is sure to flourish in all aspects of the world of entertainment! For a reeling industry that has been knocked down like never before to make an epic comeback - now that, ladies and gentlemen, would be a true Hollywood ending!
Thank you to The Hollywood Reporter for including JOWY Productions in the article and hats off to our much respected colleagues and industry friends who generously shared their important, personal stories.
