Alumni Debut Documentary

One of the coolest moments of my career took place when I got to attend the premiere of "Season of Drought." This film, directed by Caleb Hale, was created to shine a light on local Augusta citizens and their struggles with homelessness. Produced by OpenMic Perform Pro, the premiere itself had hundreds in attendance and raised money for local organizations that are working hard to make a difference inside of Augusta. Key people who were featured in the film had their moment to showcase their story. It's really something to see your former students be the change they want to see in the world. Caleb is an incredibly talented filmmaker and his film combined real interviews, animation, and narrative storytelling. Lots of my former students had the chance to work on the film. The film itself was incredibly powerful and I've seen my students using their superpowers for good. You can see the trailer here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=alGfTipaDgk I was humbled when my students brought me on stage and presented me with an award. It was an honor teaching these folks every day and it's been wonderful seeing the people they've become.
