How We Came TO Be
Hollywood Fight Club was founded when actor David Danino, dared to ask: “What would happen if I took my career into my own hands?” The answer was Hollywood Fight Club. The location at Sunset and Highland had not been rented in four years. David literally stepped over the unfortunate homeless people sleeping in the alcove to look at the location. Danino, a successful working actor, was tired of waiting for his next break to play the roles he loved and tell the stories he hungered for. With a dream in his heart, he pooled all his savings together, accumulated an unforeseen amount of credit card debts, and built the theater with his own hands. Danino asked actors, directors, and writers like himself: “Why wait? Why let this town get to you? Why not produce your own work?” So, Danino went back to the basics and created his own cooperative environment concept to provide opportunities for actors, writers and directors alike.
