Drew Sawyer – Keynote Speaker

Moonshine’s fearless founder Drew Sawyer began his professional life as a clam farmer – really, he farmed bivalves for a couple of seasons – before getting a German education, then returning to his Georgia roots and becoming a Post Producer. Whether he’s on the set of an indie Sundance horror film dressed only in a pair of bloody boxers or working with a talented post-production team on an episodic television series, Drew loves telling stories. It’s why he started Moonshine in the first place. When he’s not making movies with his friends or for “the Man,” Drew can be found four days deep backpacking in Bear Country.
