Today’s Quick Entertainment Notes
Georgia Entertainment
The leading source of competitive intelligence for the creative industries in Georgia.
?? We are headed to SXSW in March to showcase Georgia’s locations, suppliers, infrastructure and professional services. While several Georgia-linked projects are involved with this festival, we are mostly excited about the opportunity to connect with a new slate of decision makers involved with film, gaming, music and technology.
Two of our “From Script to Screen” events will be held at the Limestone Rooftop at the beautiful Cambria Hotel in downtown Austin. (Request RSVP.) Other activations and participations will be announced soon. Let me know if you want to support this effort. Read more about our plans here.
?? Next week, I’ll be joining a group of creative leaders to encourage young men to engage, learn and level up. This is a Fulton County Arts & Culture program entitled “FACE: A Gentleman’s Discussion.” Other panel members include Young Dro, T.I., Samir Abdullahi, Frank Ski and Lamman Rucker. We’ll talk about personal growth, navigating conflict, how to show up and being productive. This event will be held at the Georgia Power Auditorium and is specifically designed for college-aged young men. More.
Til next time, onward and upward!!
