According to Project Casting, Georgia is taking all of Hollywood's jobs. |
As Oprah Winfrey, Will Ferrell, and Barack Obama make their rounds in Georgia this week, so do Pres. Trump and VP Pence, however, the vice president made a remark in Dalton today that diminishes the spotlight on Georgia as a big film state.
Just look at how many films have been made here lately by the Georgia Film Commission's efforts.
According to Project Casting (PC) (http://www.projectcasting.com/news/now-filming-in-georgia/), 29 TV shows and films were made in Georgia last month. "Georgia's film industry is on fire," PC says. Since 2008, movie producers have received a 30% tax break from filming in Georgia.
Yes, the economy has been boosted by this entertainment onslaught. Three thousand jobs were created when "Avenger: Infinity War" was filmed here. Film Director Tyler Perry bought a whole fort to make films, so what does that tell you?
At a Republican political rally in Dalton, Pence said, "This ain't Hollywood. This is Georgia."
Hold on to your hat. A change is gonna come.
