This is a thank you note from a friend from my hometown Columbus, Ohio. Thank you Anthony! It really helps to know that we are making a difference!
ANTHONY'S NOTE:
John,
First I'd like to thank you for having the vision and
commitment to create the 168 Film Project. I thank God everyday for the
talents I've been given and I appreciate that there are people such as
yourself who offer creative individuals the opportunity to use those God
given talents to glorify Him.
I am a civil engineer by degree. I moved to Columbus,
Ohio after graduating from Missouri S&T because I was offered a job
at American Electric Power's corporate headquarters. I quickly
discovered that sitting in a cube, day-after-day, was not my calling. So
in an effort to learn something new I decided to take acting classes
and I fell in love.
I took as many classes and read a many books as I
could get my hands on. I managed to get involved in some commercial work
and an indy film that never made the light of day, but the 168 was the
first time I worked on a movie that resulted in a final product. It was
also one of the most professional settings I had been on to date as
well. The G&P Productions team was great and everyone involved was
committed and focused. And from that project I went on to work with
director Jack McClintock on three additional shorts one of which I was
the lead.
Being part of the 168 Film Project helped me realize
just how passionate I was about the craft of acting. It showed me that
this talent I'd been given could be used to tell stories that impact and
change lives. I resigned from my job as an engineer and moved to LA to
act full time because I wholeheartedly believe that being a storyteller
is how I will make the greatest impact that I can. And the 168 Film
Project was a major part of my journey toward that discovery.
Truly grateful,
Anthony Chiles
