Learn More About Georgia Film Tax Credit

By George Harris


The entertainment industry in Georgia has not been very promising, basically as a result of the latest tax incentive offerings. In fact, the Georgia Film, Music, & Digital Entertainment Office is currently developing a respected track record of generous financial incentives, a flexible and well-developed staff, numerous distinctive site locations, comprehensive production services, and convenient access to one of the United States' busiest airports.

These characteristics make the Peach State a great filming location. Atlanta particularly, offers an urban setting that can be used for real city shots cheaper than those you can film in Los Angeles.

Although Georgia isn't normally known for its booming film industry, it offers one of the deepest and the most skilled crew bases in the country, with more than 5,000 union and non-union professionals. Another 1000 production providers and support vendors also make their home here, from lighting and grip to movie and HD camera rental homes, sound stages, post production facilities, film laboratories, video game development studios, sound design and also recording studios, and many more. Georgia also offers a huge network of very skilled actors, casting agencies, and production companies.

One company for example may seal the deal to film in Georgia. Famous among the film and tv industry, EUE/ Screen Gems just lately got a 33- acre movie and tv complex in Atlanta. Situated only five miles from downtown Atlanta and six miles from Hartsfield- Jackson Atlanta International Airport, EUE/ Screen Gems studios offers an incredible production experience one would usually see in Holywood. Stage 5 of EUE/ Screen Gems Studios in Atlanta is the third largest stage eastern side of California, having 37,500 sq. ft. of column free space.

Along with enormous space, EUE/ Screen Gems offers world class service with its very own lighting and grip company, facilities that include conference rooms, hair & makeup, wardrobe areas, warehouse space, truck and trailer parking, and a local crew of more than 2,500. EUE/ Screen Gems offers a six decade reputation producing film, television, and commercial projects of the finest quality. While Georgia provides an outstanding film tax credit, the mixture of both the state of Georgia and EUE/ Screen Gems brings about high quality productions having a lower bearing cost, making the 2 an amazing package found no place else.
