WATCH: The Ultimate Career Plot Twist: Food Server Becomes Filmmaker Overnight

Independent filmmaker and co-owner of WW/SF Entertainment, Jason Winn, sat down with Discover Dunwoody and discussed the changing landscape and democratization of filmmaking. His rise in the industry is nothing short of a Cinderella story, going from food service to production literally overnight. His credits include the acclaimed coming-of-age feature "The Fat Boy Chronicles," "Lifetime’s The Assault," the family action-comedy "Shifting Gears," horror-thriller "Dead Thirsty," and adult drama "Let's Make It." Winn has also directed award-winning documentaries, such as "Spiral Bound," earning praise for his ability to draw powerful performances and craft cerebral, yet entertaining stories. When not directing, he mentors aspiring filmmakers at the University of North Georgia and through the Film Connection in Los Angeles.
