ATLFF Alumni Spotlight: Don-Dimitri Joseph
was scrambling from the Plaza Theatre to the Tara Theatre and all the parties and hangouts in between. And every time I saw Don, he threw me a grin and asked if it was a good time to talk. I told him to give me a beat, and I would as soon as possible. Finally, when the tides went in a bit, I finally did something I should have done sooner but was glad I waited to give it the proper time he deserved, and I spoke with the Director, Producer, and star of the ATLFF’24 Episodic Short, Last Option.
