About Drew Waters

After serving in the US Navy and becoming an entrepreneur, I decided to make a major shift in my life nearly 15 years ago and pursue my true passion in the entertainment industry. As a professional actor, it\'s been an honor to be involved in some remarkable projects working alongside some of the best in the business. The opportunity to be a part of someone\'s story is both exhilarating and humbling. More and more, though, I found myself wanting to be not just a part of the story, but I wanted to be the storyteller. I see directing as a way to bring the full arc of a story to life using everything I\'m passionate about in this industry. From the actors and writers, to lighting and cinematography, to the editing room, the development and completion of a project engages all of my senses and has been the most challenging and fulfilling venture of my career. As a director, I am passionate about stories of human connection and capturing emotion, vulnerability, joy and strength through the lens of a camera. Be it in commercial work, features or television series, my focus is on making all the necessary elements work together to make the greatest impact on the desired audience.
