Film and TV Productions Spent A Record $ 4 Billion in Georgia During Past Year Despite Pandemic & Threat of Boycott

Deadline reports:

The film and television industry pumped a record-setting $4 billion in direct spending into Georgia’s economy over the past year, despite the pandemic and in spite of calls earlier this year for a business boycott of the state because of its restrictive new voter law.

There's more:

According to the Georgia Film Office, 366 productions filmed in the state during the last year, including 21 feature films, 45 independent films, 222 television and episodic productions, 57 commercials, and 21 music videos. With the nation’s largest film incentives program, Georgia handed out $870 million in subsidies to film and TV productions in 2019 – more than New York’s $420 million and California’s $330 million combined.

Imagine that..
