ABOUT COA WORKSHOPS

Gary E. Jordan II was born and raised in Atlanta, GA. Immeditaly after graduating high school, Gary set his sights on the arts, realizing his entire life has and would be a journey to find himself as a creator. Gary began learning the music business and eventually found himself in artist development and A&R (artists and repertoire). Gary has since been credited with discovering, developing and working with some of the most influential musical artist and producers known to the city. After perceiving and grooming his gifts of talent scouting and artist development and making full use of them in the music industry his tastes for creative thinking and deal making evolved into a love for the Film and Television industry. Recognizing a new opportunity to further his search for his own unique voice as an artist Gary founded his production company Follow The Water productions in 2019. In the fall 2022 Gary co-founded the Coalition Of Artists (COA), a creative collective centered around developing and creating opportunities for Actors, Writers, Directors, Producers, Videographers, Poets, and Musicians to collaborate on, fund, produce, and promote their projects within the realm of Film/Tv & Entertainment. COA produces weekly interactive workshops for Screenwriters, Actors, Improv Artists, Keynote speakers, and also produces monthly Screenings & Premieres for feature length films, short films, web series, and limited series installments. Weekly Writers Rooms, comprehensive training modules, and creative development programs for local youth are also forthcoming in the summer of 2023 in conjunction with the City of Atlanta, and state government officials…

 

“I’m excited about the world of Film/Tv because this medium affords you the perfect opportunity to create a world people may have only seen in their dreams. Every creative person has a story to tell and there are countless men, women, and children waiting for those stories to be told. These stories shape lives for generations. It’s important to me that I do my part in developing the creativity that sparks exponential growth in mankind. Art shows people things within themselves they were unable to see. Art takes people beyond reality. Art gives people the means to express themselves. Art helps people discover themselves in others. The effect the world has on us, we’re able to reciprocate that via artistic expression...” - G. E. Jordan II
