Impact Story: Corey Lightner

When filmmaker and director Corey Lightner first moved to Atlanta, he didn't have any industry connections or know anyone "creative," yet that didn't stop him. Corey got connected to a fellow Atlanta storyteller online, who introduced him to one friend, who introduced him to another friend, and the cycle kept repeating.
