Kapil Gandhi is an award winning filmmaker based in Atlanta, GA. He is known for his skills in production and camera department, having won several awards for best director and best ad / best film. He is the owner and principal at Full Lock Media LLC, a full service production firm, founder of SwayATL, a documentary series, and creator of PredictiveTexts, a content creation concept for filmmakers to share all over the world.

Of Indian and South African decent - by way of Syria - Kapil grew up in Los Angeles during the complex age of white Ford Bronco chases and Wayne Gretzky. He made his way to Atlanta during the simpler time of 20" rims and Freaknik. Atlanta is where Kapil calls home. It was somewhere in this transition that Kapil was certain he wanted to work in film.

In 2017, Kapil also started SwayATL, a series of micro documentaries focused on people in Atlanta doing creative things to positively influence the city. Sway releases new videos consistently through swayatl.com as well as THEA channel.

Kapil is also the founder of predictivetexts.com, a fun collaborative film maker forum delivering scripts and ideas to filmmakers to force creative energy and collaboration. The project will be launching in Spring of 2018.

They also spend time working on their travel blog, alocalapproach.com, and hanging out with their two crazy doggos.
