Back in 2012, Liam Scholey and Andres Budnik, assistants at WME and Creative Partners Group respectively, met by chance at Laurel Hardware, a vibey bar-restaurant in West Hollywood. Scholey, who grew up in Panama, overheard the Chilean Budnik speaking Spanish, and the two got to talking.
Scholey was in an agent training program, and he and Budnik discussed the lack of Latino employees and talent at their companies.
“I worked for an agent named Eric Rovner,” Scholey says. “He was the Latin agent for the agency. But there were very few Latin people. And anything that had to do with Latin America or speaking Spanish, people would come to me and ask me. And that happened at every company that I worked at. It was surprising at such large companies there weren’t a lot of people that could navigate that space or that world.”
The men became fast friends, and on a Thanksgiving surf trip together, an idea bloomed.
“We really wanted to represent diverse underrepresented voices, in particular Latinos, which is our culture, and the culture we love,” Budnik says. “To put them in front and behind the camera. We saw an opportunity to push for terrific talent, terrific voices that were not having a space in the industry. So, we said, ‘Let’s resign from where we’re working and start our own company.’”
In December 2013, Vision Entertainment was born. At that time, the U.S. and Latin American industries were “two separate worlds”, as Scholey puts it. “Mexican actors were working in Mexican television, or they would do Telemundo, but there wasn’t a lot of crossover, because the [U.S.] roles that were written weren’t there for these types of actors.”
So, the co-CEOs went looking for more Latino actors. And to tackle the lack of authentic

Zack Sharf Digital News Director Harrison Ford is taking some responsibility for the tension that developed with Brad Pitt during the making of their 1997 thriller “The Devil’s Own.” The film, which notably marked the last directorial effort from Alan J. Pakula (“All the President’s Men,” “Klute”), earned mixed reviews but grossed $140 million worldwide. Ford has often said in past interviews that it was difficult filming “The Devil’s Own.” When Esquire magazine recently asked why, Ford said it was due to creative differences he had with Pitt. “Heh. Yeah, I remember why,” Ford said. “Brad developed the script. Then they offered me the part. I saved my comments about the character and the construction of the thing—I admired Brad. First of all, I admire Brad. I think he’s a wonderful actor. He’s a really decent guy. But we couldn’t agree on a director until we came to Alan Pakula, who I had worked with before but Brad had not.”
