Common Questions
IZZY is a private, apolitical organization established in the USA, with a subsidiary and headquarters in Tel Aviv, Israel.
IZZY was founded in 2020 by Joshua Hoffman, an “oleh chadash” (new immigrant) from Los Angeles who moved to Tel Aviv in 2013, at the age of 24. A few months after IZZY’s founding, longtime Israeli TV executive Nati Dinnar joined the company as co-founder and CEO.
On IZZY, of course! IZZY is available worldwide on all major streaming devices, such as smart TVs, computers, tablets, smartphones, and Chromecast, as well as apps on Apple, Android, Roku, Amazon Fire, and Samsung Tizen.
Our first three productions are currently being made and will be on IZZY during Summer 2022!
We want to continue to bring you more great stories from Israel, and we also want to keep IZZY’s subscription costs as low as possible.
Partnering with our nonprofit fiscal sponsor, Jewish Creativity International, to accept tax-deductible contributions that allow us to bring you more great stories from Israel, while supporting the local TV and film industry, seems like a nice alternative!
For the sake of being time- and cost-efficient, we are focusing on non-scripted TV shows, such as documentary and documentary-style series, travel shows, and other types of lifestyle and culture formats.
Since contributions are processed via credit/debit card or PayPal, there is no minimum!
If you are interested in making a substantial tax-deductible contribution, such as fully or partially funding a production of your choice, please contact us!
Absolutely! Please contact us and we’ll be happy to speak with you!
