Comings & Goings
The Comings & Goings column is about sharing the professional successes of our community. We want to recognize those landing new jobs, new clients for their business, joining boards of organizations and other achievements.
Please share your successes with us at comingsandgoings@washblade.com. Congratulations to Timothy Atkin for following his dream and seeing it come to fruition with the film “Lillian, Next Door.” He said, “In 2015, shortly after my husband Steve and I got married, the company I worked for was sold and I took a break from the corporate world I’d known for the prior 16 years.
I didn’t want to one day look back and say to myself, ‘What if I’d tried?’ Those four words unlocked a memory. Shortly after writing and directing my first play in 5th grade at Oakton Elementary, my father was transferred by the Navy.
On my last day in school, my teacher wrote a note on my folder: ‘To a great playwright.’ Another four words that were etched in my memory and had a major impact.
