Special Effects Technician Moves to DeKalb County to Join Growing Entertainment Industry
For Decatur resident Nikki Dillard, following her dream to enter the film industry meant moving to a new state that has become a global leader for movie and TV production, according to officials.
Originally from Chicago, Dillard graduated from the University of Minnesota with an English degree, but soon became interested in joining film production as the industry grew in Georgia. A discussion with a friend led her to pursue the Georgia Film Academy (GFA) continuing education program at Clayton State University, and she soon landed an internship working on the set of the 2019 film Godzilla: King of the Monsters.
