Austin Quarles and Ryan Gentle are filmmakers out of Chattanooga, TN that “met as random roommates in college and hated each other so much that they decided to open up a film company together. They’ve been arguing about it ever since.”

Their film — co-written with Chris Holmes — In the Balance is about how Dr. Marie Mitchell and his assistant Jonathan Meyers face a moral dilemma after achieving a medical breakthrough. It feels like the start of something bigger and I hope at some point they expand it to become a full feature.
