Hello everyone, My name is Larry Holmes (most call me LJ) and I have just separated from the military and am finally pursuing my dream of filmmaking (writing and cinematography) after 12 years of service within the Air Force. I am currently studying film here at the University of Texas in San Antonio and am preparing myself early to eventually make a big move to Atlanta to tap into the resources and opportunities on the east coast. I look forward to networking with the community and am always looking to learn from all interactions. Here's to hoping my circle grows on and off this platform. The forever student of the craft signing off.

Thank you in return. I was not a pilot but I did work closely with the day to day support of various aircraft haha. I look forward to connecting with everyone so thank you for the positive words of affirmation.

Welcome to the community, Larry Holmes. Thank you for your service. My great uncle was in the Air Force, which is why Air Force is one of my college football teams.
There are a lot of creatives in Atlanta on Stage 32 (www.stage32.com/people?name=&location=Atlanta%2C+Georgia&roles=).

Hi Larry Holmes - thanks so much for your service! I just read about this cool program for veterans. I honestly haven't looked into it much yet, but it sounds like a great opportunity for vets in film. https://vets2set.org/?fbclid=IwAR3xJnbNfJVya7HubKaLF08BAQL5bRGbQbs0sTSR8Qn4EsVgE70o43zZsiw
