THE WILL PACKER AWARD?!?! 🤯 Thank you, Atlanta Film Society and Atlanta Film Festival, for honoring me with the Ossie Davis Award and a namesake award in my honor! Truly grateful! 🎬🏆
Do you want to be right or do you want to win? I want to win.” @willpowerpacker
We already knew this convo would go way beyond Hollywood…From his HBCU roots to building a billion-dollar film empire, Will breaks down what it really takes to win—especially when the odds, the industry, and even rejection are stacked against you.
From creating cultural classics to navigating closed doors, his journey is a masterclass in betting on yourself, staying ready, and choosing growth over ego every time.
He gets into the pressures, the setbacks, and the moments that could’ve gone left—like day one on set of Takers with the late Paul Walker, the no from Beyoncé and the empty front row of his first premiere when he had to step in and keep everything from falling apart. Real leadership. Real composure. Real lessons.
We have a lot of laughs and through the humor, we reflect and absorb life’s greatest teacher-experience. If you’re chasing something bigger, this one will light a fire under you for sure!
