- Description:
- Encyclopedia article about the film industry in Georgia. Georgia has been the location for hundreds of feature films, commercials, and music videos, along with television movies, series, and specials. The state's diverse geography, moderate climate, transportation infrastructure, modern amenities, and skilled film crews have made it an attractive choice for film companies looking to shoot outside traditional locales like Los Angeles, California, and New York City. By 2007 more than $4 billion had been generated for the state's economy by the film and television industry since the 1970s.
