ATHENS — Spreading joy and hope comes naturally to University of Georgia College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences alum Tamlin Hall, so it’s no surprise that he’s taken his passion for positivity and turned it into a personal mission.
Hall, an independent filmmaker who graduated from CAES in 2002, founded Hope Givers in the wake of the release of his award-winning debut film, “Holden On,” a true story and social-impact narrative feature film about his childhood friend, Holden Layfield. Layfield struggled with mental illness and died by suicide at the age of 19. In his quest to raise awareness around the importance of youths seeking help for mental wellness, Hall produced the film and then started Hope Givers.
