Meet Our Cast

Update #1 · Aug 10, 2012 · comment

When I decided to shoot in Clarkston, I wanted to cast as much as possible from the talent in Atlanta. I'm so proud that all our actors, save one is a local actor. From day one, my agenda has always been to take the skills I've learned at UCLA and put them to work back home. I'm so proud of the work we've done on this film. Meet our primary cast...
