Imagine Impact is an AI-based incubator for entertainment storytellers

Strong writing can determine whether a Hollywood show turns out like Game of Thrones or Pee-Wee Herman's Big Adventure. That's why Ron Howard and Brian Grazer's Imagine Entertainment has opened an incubator for writers called Imagine Impact. The film and TV industries employ 2.6 million people in the U.S. alone, and those businesses generate $177 billion a year in wages. But surfacing new writers can be a haphazard process. Imagine Impact, the division of a film production company with dozens of Oscar-nominated films, wants to create a pipeline of strong writers.
