Born Warriors: Edward Bass, producer, extends a helping hand

Edward Bass, a producer of numerous films, has been in the show business long enough to understand what fame means to the many people braving the rough waters of the multimillion-dollar industry of movie making. It is, for most, a life-and-death situation. Career death has given new meanings for the terms revival, resurrection, and reboot; the comparisons are not mere accidents. Along the same line, stars of the screen, though alive in other respects, seem to lose their shine after some time.


And then, there are those whose careers in show business are hampered by real-world infirmities—literally life-threatening conditions that hinder their climb to filmic success. Victory for them is the ever-present stock of success stories, one that ends in rising music and thundering applause. For Edward Bass, as a producer, this dream should be as achievable as any.

And so, Born Warriors was conceived. This is not charity, it is empowerment. Born Warriors is not all about fundraising luncheons and black-tie balls of Hollywood’s benevolent culture. Rather, it is about building a network of the similarly-situated handi-capable talent: a veritable stable of writers, filmmakers, actors, and artists. All of them might have lost the use of one limb or another, but their talents remain complete and
unblemished.

The network operates as most organizations do. It provides a chance to pay it forward, and in the process remove obstacles that, for most handi-capable talents, are insurmountable. The entire effort puts sheer talent ahead of any other consideration.
