Armed with a hand-held videocamera, a microphone, a laptop and an iPhone, Horvath approaches homeless people on their own turf and empowers them to share their personal stories. He posts the raw, unedited video interviews on his Web site, InvisiblePeople.tv, and other places. For Horvath, the stories he captures hit close to home. He was once a Hollywood distribution executive with a six-figure salary. In 1995, he lost it all to drug and alcohol addiction. Horvath cleaned up with the help of the Dream Center in Los Angeles, a nonprofit ministry and outreach that supplies food, shelter and life rehabilitation to people in urban areas. He went into faith-based broadcasting and marketing, and eventually relocated to St. Louis, Missouri, in 2005. After two years of stability, however, Horvath faced another challenge: the faltering economy. He lost his marketing job for a church in St. Louis and spent nine months unemployed.
