There's something special about seeing a film you've helped create come to life in front of a live audience.

Waiting premiered at 7 Stages Theatre during the Atlanta Underground Film Festival, and it was an incredible experience to watch the story unfold with an audience experiencing it together for the very first time.

A heartfelt thank you to Logan Porter for his vision, leadership, and trust throughout this journey. It was an honor to help produce this film alongside such a talented writer and director.

I'm equally grateful to our exceptional cast and crew. Independent filmmaking is truly a team sport. Every performance, every shot, every lighting setup, every sound cue, and every long day on set contributed to bringing this story to life. Your talent, dedication, and belief in the project made this premiere possible.

Thank you to everyone who joined us at 7 Stages Theatre and supported independent filmmaking. Sharing stories with a live audience is why we do this.

After many years of telling stories in advertising, projects like Waiting remind me that creativity has no expiration date. There is always another story to tell, another skill to learn, another dream worth pursuing.

Never stop creating. Never stop reinventing yourself.
