Atlanta Production Company Launches Georgia Film Expo

Date:

Georgia Film Expo plans provide jobs and opportunities to aspiring Atlanta filmmakers.

Georgia’s film industry is booming. According to the Georgia Department of Development, the new growth in TV and film is continuing to grow.

Last year, production companies filming in Georgia spent approximately $1.7 billion dollars on 248 projects, placing the state right behind New York and Los Angeles.

As Georgia’s film industry continues to grow, so will the number of job opportunities for Georgia residents.

The only thing holding the state back is the lack of networking conditions between producers and aspiring filmmakers.

On January 30th, the Cinema South Expo will provide information, training and opportunities to people looking for a career in the film industry.

The expo is the first of its kind and will attendees a chance to talk with film and TV veterans.

The event will be hosted by Open Rivers Film Academy at Pinewood Atlanta Studios Production Center in Fayetteville, Georgia.

Williams said, “We wanted to have a big class to educate people on how to find a job in the industry and what jobs are actually out there.”
