Drew is a talented filmmaker who fell in love with
the moving image before he even began to crawl. At age 10, after a decade-long
love affair with visual media, he began creating his own films. At age 11, he
won the YouTube "Sky's the Limit" contest. At age 12, Drew's first film,
TREASURE DIVERSITY, was an official selection of numerous national and
international film festivals and earned a dozen top honors. His most recent
film, NO PITY, has just begun showing at film festivals, but it has already
screened at over 20 festivals in the U.S., the U.K., Korea, and Australia. It
won "Best Documentary" at the Santa Monica Teen Film Festival and the
Teen Showcase of the Green Mountain Film Festival. Drew was elected president
of the National Honor Society at his school and has been active in the Science
Club, the school newspaper, and the Ski Club. For the past five years, Drew has
been a volunteer delivery person for Meals on Wheels at least two nights a
week. Drew recently founded his own film company, Rolling Credit, LLC, and is
passionate about using film to open people's hearts and minds.
