Meet Orlando Thompson! When folks in our line of work talk about filmmaking savants, Orlando is someone who immediately comes to mind. Not only has he done just about every crew position on a film set, his nearly 20-year career seems to just be beginning. Though he currently resides in Hawaii, Orlando is a Georgia-bred filmmaking artist. We got a chance to chat and reminisce on our time on set together, his life in the global fine art world, and his passion for editing in particular.

Meet Shaquana Amerson! Shaq, as myself and her colleagues call her, is one of my favorite professional creatives here in Georgia (and she will be yours too after hearing her interview). You will often see her IMDB title listed as a graphic designer. Before I met her in the production offices of the Lee Daniels episodic show STAR, I had no clue of how graphic design fit into the overall production design of a movie or television project. We met in person at FolkArt Hapeville for this interview.
