The city of Atlanta has seen a fair amount of films and television shows that have been filmed in the area, but recently there has been a major rise in production of films and shows in the dirty south. One of the main reasons is that in a down economy Atlanta has a very favorable cost of living compared to the other major filming cities like Los Angeles and New York. For directors and producers this budget friendly city has turned into a gold mine of opportunities.
The state of Georgia’s generous tax credits have also played a role in the expanded film investment in Atlanta. Georgia has made a conscious effort to attract film and television production companies through its Camera Ready program; by encouraging private partners to build sound stages, post-production facilities and additional infrastructure to support large-scale productions.
With recent high profile movies like “Flight”, “X-Men: First Class”, The Blind Side” and high profile television shows like “The Walking Dead”, “Teen Wolf”, and “Single Ladies”, Atlanta has securely carved out its place as a major hub for film production.
For all you aspiring actors, producers, screenwriters, directors, etc., the city of Atlanta offers you a great opportunity to break into the film industry. A key part of following your dreams to break into the industry is to take advantage of the opportunity when it presents itself and the time is now.
