The Garage Atlanta rise+shine speaker series featuring Brandon Sadler

As Microsoft Atlanta rises (literally, as a building), this film introduces The Garage-Atlanta—Microsoft’s creativity playground for local artists and in-house visionaries. Then LeAndra Jordan sits down with Atlanta artist Brandon Sadler (aka Risingredlotus) in his tea-scented, self-built space to talk background and craft: studying illustration and painting at SCAD Atlanta, teaching English in Korea, and building a diverse creative career spanning murals, set design for film, brand illustration, gallery work (including the High Museum), woodworking, and even running a tea room.

We produced this as a story-led brand film from the ground up—preproduction that shapes the arc (so it feels like a conversation with purpose, not a transcript with lighting), production that stays smooth and well-fed, and post-production that makes it shine. We start with a line cut to lock the narrative, then refine pacing, polish the edit, dial in color, and craft sound design that feels warm and intentional. Delivery includes the full accessibility and launch kit: closed captions, audio description, and thumbnails.
