Director Biography - Jeff Kaminski

J.W. Kaminski is an Atlanta-based director and the founder of Speedy Films, a production company specializing in narrative grit and Southern authenticity. A graduate of the Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD), Kaminski has spent over a decade building a prolific body of work within the Georgia film ecosystem, ranging from narrative features to high-concept shorts.

Kaminski’s directorial style is defined by a commitment to unvarnished, character-driven storytelling that explores regional identity and human resilience. His filmography includes the feature film Team P.R.O.O.F. and the zombie-romance Tim and Katie: A Nice Little Love Story with Zombies, as well as numerous award-winning entries in the 24-Hour Film Race.

With his latest project, The Fabulous Flocks, Kaminski turns the lens toward his own family history. By retelling the true story of the transition from moonshine running to NASCAR, and filming on-location at the historic Peachtree Williams mansion in Inman Park, he aims to reclaim Southern narratives from caricature. Kaminski is currently a filmmaker dedicated to preserving the "lost" stories of the American South.

Director Statement

"Authenticity isn’t just a stylistic choice; it’s a duty. In retelling the story of the Flock family and their nefarious Uncle Peachtree Williams, that duty was our guiding light.

There is a grand tradition of oral storytelling in the South—one that often invites embellishment—but my family’s history is real, and it was on the verge of being lost. We set out to honor a journey that began in the dirt of moonshine runs and ended in the Hall of Fame.

Mainstream media often portrays Southerners in a cartoonish light. Growing up here, I know our people are far more nuanced than an accent used to denote low intelligence. We sought to portray Southerners as survivors.

To do this, we didn't just replicate the era; we inhabited it. From painstakingly accurate costuming to filming inside the real Peachtree Williams mansion in Inman Park, we remained true to the grit of the times. Just as Carl Flock felt duty-bound to break the law to save his family, we felt duty-bound to ensure their story never fades."

While the Flock legacy spans decades, this short captures the origins, where their character was forged.
