Film studios are opening up left and right in the state of Georgia. This not only brings many job opportunities, but it just goes to show that Georgia is truly the new Hollywood Of The South.
Here is a list of studios that are right here in our own back yard in metro Atlanta:
• Located only 5 miles from downtown Atlanta, EUE/ Screen Gems Studios, is a newly renovated 33- acre, film and television campus. It houses stage 5, which is one of the countries largest stages, at 37,500 square feet and has five sound stages.
• Tyler Perry Studios, opened in 2008, is 200,000 square feet, and is located in southwest Atlanta. This is where television shows such as House of Payne, and For Better Or Worse are filmed.
• East Mountain Studios, located in Conyers, is a premiere television, film, and commercial and video production studios. East Mountain Studio had its soft grand opening in February 2013, for the citizens of Rockdale, County. Some of the latest projects that East Mountain Studios their work includes: Joyful Noise, starring Queen Latifah, KeKe Palmer, and Dolly Parton. Fast 5, starring Vin Diesel, and American Reunion.
• Triple Horse Studios currently operates out of Hollywood, CA. Triple Horse Studios have the pleasure of working on projects such as; The Casting Crowns latest concert, titled Life Song, a children’s production called Miss Patty Cake, as well as Songs of Praise for America, which will air on the fourth of July. On April 13th, 2013, Triple Horse Studios announced that they will build a Hollywood style film studio in Covington, GA. They will “ultimately (be) investing $100 million with the goal of solidifying Covington’s position as the Hollywood Of The South.”
Before moving to Atlanta in 2000, I considered moving to Los Angeles, CA to pursue acting. However I am very glad that I did not because of all of the great opportunities for film and television here in Georgia. This is only the beginning!
