Founding of The Studio
The year of its creation, 1986, was a turning point for David Winters. After being overruled on a casting decision for "Thrashin'", Winters made the professional decision to control all aspects of future projects. AIP was organized by Winters with partners; Prior and Yuval.
Although Josh Brolin was ultimately cast in Thrashin', Winters' choice was a "pre-21 Jump Street", Johnny Depp. Winters had previously been a partner in the successful Winters-Rosen organization in the 1970s.

Famous quotes containing the words founding and/or studio:
“The Founding Fathers in their wisdom decided that children were an unnatural strain on parents. So they provided jails called schools, equipped with tortures called an education. School is where you go between when your parents can’t take you and industry can’t take you.”
—John Updike (b. 1932)
“[T]hose wholemeal breads ... look hand-thrown, like studio pottery, and are fine if you have all your teeth. But if not, then not. Perhaps the rise ... of the ... factory-made loaf, which may easily be mumbled to a pap betweeen gums, reflects the sorry state of the nation’s dental health.”
—Angela Carter (1940–1992)
