Discover Dunwoody is proud to recognize Tony Holley as the August recipient of the Distinguished Production Associate Recognition Program, an initiative that honors the dedicated professionals in the film and entertainment industry who work tirelessly behind the scenes.
Tony’s passion for filmmaking began at the age of five after seeing “Star Wars” in theaters. That early inspiration shaped his childhood and young adulthood, even though his initial career path took a different route. With no nearby film schools in Georgia in the early 1990s, Tony pursued a business degree before entering the corporate workforce. However, he quickly realized that his true calling was in film.
While working at a local Outback Steakhouse, Tony met fellow film enthusiast Alex Orr. The two began creating sketches and bits that evolved into a television show through Dekalb Public Access Television. That creative project opened the door to producing a series of promotional videos for a pharmaceutical company. The success of that job gave Tony the confidence to leave the corporate world and begin freelancing full-time.
