Georgia Entertainment
The leading source of competitive intelligence for the creative industries in Georgia.
?? We truly enjoy the opportunity to share insights with media about Georgia’s growing lead in the creative industries. Yesterday, I was on WSB with Tim Andrews for a piece that will appear soon. Our President, Jezlan Moyet was a guest this morning on Atlanta News First talking about our Unscripted roadshows and efforts to wave the Georgia flag around the world at Cannes, Sundance, Toronto International Film Festival etc. Jezlan's segment followed an interview with Rocko and Young Dro who are co-hosting the A-Town Music Fest with 2 Chainz, Jeezy and others at the Wolf Creek Ampitheater on Saturday. Pictures and more.
?? ‘The Razor’s Edge’ has just released an exclusive behind the scenes reel of their recent production in Columbus. We have received so much positive feedback from the producers and those working on this film about the community. Take a look.
?? Could Dahlonega get a Netflix series? Tourism is booming in Georgia and entertainment initiatives around the state are a driving force as communities in all four corners of the state embrace the creative industries. We are looking forward to the Georgia Governor’s Tourism Conference at the brand-new Signia in Atlanta on September 15-17. We are particularly excited about the session with Lee Thomas, Craig Dominey and others that will focus on film. See you there.
