Atlanta Workshop Players
I had a BLAST working for AWP during their summer Movie Camp. In 2 weeks we produced 2 movies and a few short PSA clips. When not on set, I had the privilege of attending masterclasses from so many Professionals from On-Camera acting to directing, dancing, and filmmaking. Finishing the week off with an audition for Casting Directors and Agents and a red carpet event. This was the best week of meeting creatives in the ATL area and being introduced to the film world in ATL.
