Founder's Favorite Production

Elixir's founder, John Kuri, began his career at Disney Studios in art direction, the comedy classic The Apple Dumpling Gang one of his movies.  Offered the art direction for a movie of John Steinbeck's classic, The Red Pony, starring Henry Fonda and Maureen O'Hara, with legendary actors Ben Johnson and Jack Elam featured, John accepted.  He left Disney for this irresistible offer with the result being 

his first major award. 

And so his Hollywood production career led him to many films with production in many states and countries on five continents, then to form Elixir Entertainment.

In partnership with Karate Kid Oscar® nominated star 

Pat Morita, John created the Warner Brothers Television / ABC drama series OHARA. 

The show ran in prime time for two seasons, 26 one-hour episodes produced.  

Pat, who starred in Captive Hearts, an MGM movie written by John & Pat and produced by John, asked John to develop a drama series idea for the ABC network. ABC had given a green-light to Brian Grazer and Warner Bros TV for an unspecified one-hour series to star Pat. 

While Karate Kid II was filming in Hawaii John wrote a concept / treatment titled OHARA.  When Pat heard the premise then read John's treatment, he loved it. A meeting was called by Brian Grazer with Warner Bros TV president, Alan Shayne, and ABC. John presented the project in Pat's absence and the series was born. 

Appearing with Pat were Catherine Keener, Miguel Ferrer and Rachel Ticotin.
