While accepting the Spark Award at the 2026 IndieWire TV Honors in Los Angeles, Long Story Short creator Raphael Bob-Waksberg delivered an honest and inspiring speech about creativity, rejection, and the realities of working in Hollywood.

The BoJack Horseman creator reflected on the countless projects that never make it to the screen, the challenges artists face when seeking validation, and why lasting fulfillment comes from the act of creation itself.

"We have to find meaning in the work itself," Bob-Waksberg told the crowd, sharing a powerful message about perseverance, passion, and continuing to create even when success isn't guaranteed.
