Made in Doraville - The Movie

Flexing all my creative muscles on this passion project to create a movie about my hometown of Doraville, Georgia. I created our website (www.madeindoraville.com), as well as all the SWAG located via our shop. I'm writing the script and will be co-directing the motive.  Check out my page on IMDb.com!

Doraville. She's made legendary cars. She's made legendary music. Soon, she'll be known for making legendary movies. But it's her diversity that she wants as her legacy.
