Writer/Director James Kicklighter is Calling the Shots

Georgia native James Kicklighter is a lot like the boy next door. Smart and well-spoken, he is close with his family, loves spending time with friends and has a tremendous work ethic. His work just happens to be a globe-trotting writer and director. "Film's not just about what we put on screen," says the conscientious filmmaker. "It's about the catering, the hotels, the transportation, it's about logistics. It's about all of the smaller things that become much bigger things."
