Georgia Film Tax Credit

By George Harris


The entertainment business in Georgia has never been very good, largely because of the latest tax incentive offerings. Actually, the Georgia Film, Music, & Digital Entertainment Office is currently building a respected reputation for generous financial incentives, a flexible and well-developed crew, a number of distinctive site locations, comprehensive production services, as well as 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.

Even though Georgia is not often famous for its booming f industry, it features one of the deepest and most experienced staff bases within the country, with more than 5,000 union and non-union experts. Another 1000 production suppliers and support vendors also make their residence here, from lighting and grip to film and HD camera rental houses, sound stages, post production facilities, film laboratories, video game development studios, sound design as well as recording studios, and much more. Georgia also offers a large network of extremely skilled actors, casting firms, 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.

Apart from big space, EUE/ Screen Gems provides outstanding service having its own lighting and grip company, facilities which include conference rooms, hair & makeup, clothing areas, warehouse space, truck and movie trailer parking, and also a local crew of more than 2,500. EUE/ Screen Gems has a six decade reputation producing film, television, and also commercial projects of the best caliber. Although Georgia provides an outstanding film tax credit, the combination of both the state of Georgia and EUE/ Screen Gems brings about high quality productions having a lower bearing cost, making the two a great package found no place else.
