Today we’d like to introduce you to Jordan Moore.
Jordan, please share your story with us. How did you get to where you are today?
My journey started on a leap of faith. I took an internship for a law firm in Atlanta with secret aspirations to become an actor. I had my first experience as a background actor and loved the experience. Later during my internship, I met a director that offered me an opportunity I couldn’t afford to miss – I could go back to school and pursue law or stay in Atlanta and he would teach me the business for free. Needless to say, I made the right decision. I have always been into storytelling and that naturally manifested through my career pretty quickly. I met my best friend and business partner Luis, and together we founded IAF Media, a production company that produces narrative and media content.
Our journey was turbulent, but through consistency, believing in ourselves, hard work, and most importantly community, we were able to ride through the waves. Years later we have multiple clients, an executive board, multiple departments within the company, sponsorships, and great connections – the best part is we are just beginning. I’d like to give recognition to Brook and Krupa for coming on board as our Director of Operations (Brooke) and Director of Marketing (Krupa). They also hold executive positions on the board. Without these two women, our company wouldn’t have the legs it has today. Also, a special shout out to our secret weapon Montana – she’s the conscious of IAF and executes like no other.
Great, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
A recent lesson that I learned was in a meditation, there was this profound quote that stood out to me that said, “Whether we believe it or not, our reality is a direct manifestation of our thoughts and how we view ourselves.” When we first started, we were young ambitious, creative and ready for whatever. On the flip side, we were also full of doubt, anxiety, fear – which comes naturally with anyone pursuing their dreams right? Naturally, with this mindset, there of course were many hardships that birthed many lessons leading to our growth. Somewhere along the way, we began to focus on ourselves, learned to love ourselves and our work for the dopeness that it is, and focus on what was in front of us. Ultimately, we learned our worth and stood behind it always. Inevitably we created a new reality for ourselves full of hope, hard work, and prosperous manifestations.
IAF Media – what should we know? What do you guys do best? What sets you apart from the competition?
Helping the dreamers dreams come true – IAF Media is a production company based in Atlanta, GA, whose purpose is to create original groundbreaking content for entertainment, media, and company branding.
We are mostly known for our connections, innovation, and ability to make anything happen and look great with limited resources – hence the name Indie AF. That’s something that we are most proud of, being able to make our clients visions come to life better than they expected; while also, showing them how to use their resources. We recently got a new studio and will offer subscription-based services for actors, filmmakers, and events (post COVID).
Is there a characteristic or quality that you feel is essential to success?
Loving the ultimate fuck out of yourself. To me, the world is already too hard on people, so why be even harder on yourself? I quit doubting myself and began believing in myself and the things that I am capable of. Since then I haven’t looked back and the journey has been very great. That isn’t to say there wasn’t any learning lessons along the way – when they rose, instead of running away from them, I embraced and aced them head on in order to grow.
