Travis Simmons
is a producer/actor based in Atlanta, GA where he is currently producing a
feature length film titled “Burnouts: Stoner Quest”. Travis was born in the small town of Jackson,  GA as the fourth child. During primary education, Travis both excelled and struggled as
someone with undiagnosed ADHD is likely to do. Travis got his first camera at age 10 and
became enamored with both the complexity and freedom of filming. He wrote scripts and
convinced friends to help him. However, coming from a small town with no real means of
pursuing that dream, Travis decided to join the army as a linguist after graduating high school.

He served for 6 years and was then honorably discharged. He was also officially diagnosed with
both ADHD and bi-polar type 1 around the time of his discharge. The new revelation caused
Travis to re-evaluate his life and he realized his passion for filming and actors had actually only
gotten stronger. He decided to change the trajectory of his life completely and moved to Atlanta
to pursue acting. Travis then met Brian Kairo in an acting class. After becoming friends, they discussed their mutual passion and decided to work on a project together. That project has
turned into “Burnouts: Stoner Quest”
