EDWARD KITSIS & ADAM HOROWITZ, creators/executive producers
Edward Kitsis’s & Adam Horowitz’s partnership began in their Introduction to Film class at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. After successfully nabbing a B-minus on their first collaboration, the duo decided to take on Hollywood, and, following graduation, the two moved to Los Angeles to pursue their writing careers. After cutting their teeth on such shows as “Popular” and “Felicity,” they joined the writing staff of “Lost” during its first year. In 2006 they won WGA Awards for their work on the show and, over the course of its six-season run, they earned multiple Emmy, WGA and PGA nominations. For the final two seasons they served as executive producers while simultaneously writing the hit feature film “Tron: Legacy” and creating the Annie Award-nominated animated television series “Tron: Uprising” for Disney XD. After “Lost,” the two immediately began the development process on a pilot that would become their first primetime creation: “Once Upon a Time.” In 2013 they expanded their storytelling universe with ABC’s “Once Upon a Time in Wonderland” and, most recently, they co-created the summer camp thriller anthology “Dead of Summer” for Freeform with Ian B. Goldberg.
DAVID H. GOODMAN, executive producer
Goodman grew up in Larchmont, New York, and attended Wesleyan University where he majored in film and English. In addition to his roles as a writer and executive producer on “Once Upon a Time,” which he has been with since its first season, Goodman has lent his talent to the genre shows “Fringe” and “The Event,” along with the crime procedural “Without a Trace.” He also co-wrote a feature film adaptation of the seminal cyberpunk science-fiction novel “Altered Carbon,” now being made into a limited series for Netflix.
STEVE PEARLMAN, executive producer
Having been with ABC’s “Once Upon a Time” since its pilot, non-writing executive producer Steve Pearlman oversees production and all creative aspects of the fairy tale drama on location in Vancouver, British Columbia, where the series is filmed. Pearlman’s responsibilities include directing, as well as oversight of post-production and the show’s extensive visual effects. He is also executive producing the Freeform series “Dead of Summer.” Pearlman served as executive producer on the ABC series “Once Upon a Time in Wonderland” and also spent two seasons executive producing ABC’s cult sci-fi remake “V,” which was also filmed locally in Vancouver.
Pearlman entered the producing world after a successful career as a senior studio executive at Warner Bros. Television, during which time the studio was the No. 1 supplier of series to major broadcast and cable networks. Pearlman came to the studio (then Lorimar-Telepictures) in 1986 after earning an undergraduate degree at UCLA and a master’s in communication management from the University of Southern California’s Annenberg School of Communication. Hired initially as a research analyst, Pearlman concentrated on network television and feature films, and a year into the job was promoted to head the department.
In 1992 Pearlman took on the duty of overseeing Current Programming as senior vice president and head of the department, and in 1997 he assumed responsibility for Drama Development, also as head of that department. In his last position before leaving the studio, Pearlman was executive vice president, Creative Affairs, responsible for drama, comedy and alternative series development, splitting his time between creative oversight of all projects in development and strategic planning and integration with other departments, including Business Affairs, Production and Marketing.
Pearlman left the executive offices in 2004 to formClass IV Productions, an independent production company that was based at Warner Bros. During a four-year stint, he executive-produced four drama pilots and three series.
Following the writers’ strike in 2008, Pearlman spent a year consulting with MHz, LLC, a strategic advisory firm specializing in joint ventures between state-owned entities in China and U.S. investment partners. The project involved a unique joint venture between MHz and China’s CCTV to bring Western content and production expertise to China.
