Writer & Director

Lights! Camera! Action! Change!

Although Sidney was unsure of where the road of filmmaking would lead him, Sidney was confident in his decision to return to Douglas, GA and begin making movies. Sidney's passion to become a filmmaker stemmed from his early years of video production with his Grandfather the late James H. Threat Sr. and his classes within the Coffee County School System under the tutelage of Rodney Ragsdale. He later obtained an Associate Degree of Arts in Video Production from the Art Institute of Atlanta before returning to his home community.
