Jason Blum is the Producer and CEO of his company Blumhouse production but Jason was not always as big as he is now and even now he classes himself as a low budget especially compare to hollywood, Jason is a horror movie producer and his first big hit was Paranormal Activity which is one of the most profitable movies in history and was made on a budget less then 5 million.
Jason has worked for lost of different companies in different companies and has even worked for Hollywood before but he is an inspiration now as he is one of the most noticeable producers in the horror genre and he makes the lowest costing and most profitable films to date but yet he does not flash off his cash as he does not have a expensive car and driver but drives around looking like a handy man in a van with a small office and staff.

After reading these article on Jason he has worked hard doing what he loves and for him that has always been producing and finally he is now his own producer, the article states that most producers in Hollywood have previsouly been actors or directors that have got board and what to make their own films, like the one i mentioned in one of my other posts like Adam Sandler who is executive producer in most of the films he starts in as he now owns his own production company (Happy Maddison).
The article is inspiring to the next producer as it gives in insight into what Jason went through and he even got the dream of Hollywood but it just wasn't right for him and now he has found his calling and loves his job which works around his family, which is a surprise in the film industry.
