Creative industries can be difficult to navigate, and it is often the case that some uniquely meaningful voices go unnoticed. Becca Brazil and Ariel Lavi founded Hollywood Hills Magazine (HHM) as their solution, a publication blending Hollywood access with the cultural credibility of European entertainment media. Today, this luxury celebrity magazine is elevating visionaries who deserve to be heard.

Lavi offers his background as an award-winning international film producer and screenwriter. He has produced films in the US, Mexico, Nigeria, Italy, Canada. His films won 139 awards all over the world. He is a judge at Miss England Contest, Sunset Film Festival, and Hollywood Screenings Film Festival.

Identifying a Gap in Modern Media
Despite her success, Brazil experienced inconsistent public relations (PR) representation in her early career. Realizing how many creatives, entrepreneurs, and changemakers must face the same difficulties, she developed a clear passion for ethical brand-building and personal visibility. Combined with Lavi’s international experience, the two share a mission to build a global media brand built on purpose.
“Both founders saw a gap in modern media where meaningful voices were being overlooked,” a company representative stated.” Hollywood Hills Magazine is founder-led by two creatives who actively work in the industries they cover… allowing the magazine to tell stories that feel both intimate and international.”

Supported by a Team of Creative Leaders
Dedicated to providing the best possible coverage for voices that deserve to be heard, Brazil and Lavi have built a team of world-class creative leaders. A highly-respected journalist and contributor to Digital Journal Magazine, Markos Papadatos serves as Hollywood Hills Magazine’s executive editor. Leading with integrity, he has interviewed iconic names in entertainment with a focus on narrative.
Papadatos is supported by Avi Wiseman, art director and content supervisor at Hollywood Hills Magazine. As the company’s creative architect, Wiseman maintains the brand’s visual identity and designs official covers.
A New Vision for Media
Hollywood Hills Magazine was founded on the shared belief that media should uplift and inspire by giving others the platform they need to be seen. These principles have allowed the company to feature several high-profile figures such as Katherine Kelly Lang, Jonathan Bennet, Joe Germanotta, Lucilla Nori- Miss Universe Italy 2025, RJ Mitte, Debbie Matenopoulos and many others. Certainly, Hollywood Hills Magazine is positioned to become a globally-recognized luxury media brand, spotlighting genuine changemakers across entertainment, business, and culture.
