?? I knew he would not be there forever - but why not??? After 29 years of honorable and admirable service with VisitColumbus, Peter Bowden is stepping down at the height of his career. He has been a true superhero in economic development, tourism, education, and philanthropy—not to mention a visionary in film and entertainment. Most importantly, his character and influence will resonate for years to come as Columbus continues to thrive on the foundation he built. See the announcement about his retirement here.
?? Chick-Fil-A is moving aggressively into the entertainment space with plans to launch a slate of originals for its own streaming platform. Deadline understands that the fast-food firm has been working with a number of major production companies, including some of the studios, to create family-friendly shows, particularly in the unscripted space. We are working to have more on this soon.
??We watched as filmgoers celebrated Georgia-born actors at the Atlanta screening of “The Supremes at Earl’s All-You-Can-Eat”?at?the Springs Cinema and Taphouse in Sandy Springs. The film, based on Edward Kelsey Moore’s novel and written for the screen by Tina Mabry and Cee Marcellus, tells the story of three friends – known as The Supremes – as they move from teens to mid-life in Plainview, Indiana. Pictures and more.
??We will announce partners for our From Script to Screen activations at the Toronto International Film Festival on Monday. The buzz is already electric with the North American premier of Georgia-lensed ‘Megalopolis’ and ‘The Piano Lesson’ among other Georgia storylines taking place. Join us!
