Clients of VPI included a who’s who of the retail entertainment/electronics community such as Blockbuster, Tower Records, Musicland and Best Buy. Horovitz entered the digital space in the late 1990’s when he foresaw the need for the major players of the entertainment industry (movie studios, TV networks, video game publishers) to have a reliable, easy-to-use database to archive and access their trailers. In 2004, Horovitz launched VideoDetective.com, and quickly turned the site into the premiere resource for movie trailers on the Internet. Currently boasting over 50,000 unique titles, Video Detective’s clients include Barnes and Noble, Comcast, Fandango.com, Hollywood Entertainment, Love Film, TV Guide and Sony. Determined to do for music videos what he had accomplished for movie trailers, he started the website SingingFool.com, which currently boasts one of the largest collections of music videos in the world and a client roster that includes AT&T, Cox Radio, Kit Digital and Slide.com. Though business-to-business preview supply is now the dominant share of IVA’s business, VideoDetective.com and SingingFool.com continue to function as the consumer website arms of the company. Prior to venturing into the digital entertainment space, Horovitz spent nearly 20 years as a filmmaker. During this time, he worked behind the camera and as an editor with the Oscar winning documentary filmmaker Pierre Gaisseau, the Cousteau Society, and the Playboy Channel.
