The Team Behind The First Save

Behind every good story is a team of storytellers who believe in its power.

The First Save began with a script. But it’s growing because of the people involved — creatives who believe Black history deserves the spotlight and that indie films can shift culture.

Here’s who’s helping bring it to life:

🎬 Orlando Suazo Jr. — Writer & Director  

Award-winning filmmaker and storyteller with deep roots in documentary and brand storytelling.

🎬 Jor-El Washington — Producer  

Brings a background in talent management and indie development.

🎬 Chris Rayle — Producer  

A veteran of the Film and TV world, with experience in major theatrical campaigns.

🎬 Jonathan Dillon — Producer  

Experienced creative director, screenwriter, editor, and producer with a focus on grounded, authentic storytelling.

We’re a tight team with a big heart. And we’re making The First Save with everything we’ve got.

This week, we will be sharing their "why"!
