Film and TV Production

A leading destination for film and television projects, Georgia provides everything productions need – from skilled crew and diverse locations to state-of-the-art facilities. From blockbusters “Avengers: End Game” and “Black Panther” to long-running fan favorites “The Walking Dead” and “The Vampire Diaries” to classics like “Forrest Gump” and “Fried Green Tomatoes,” Georgia’s diverse filmography is a testament to the state’s long-term investments in the industry.

Established by then-Governor Jimmy Carter in 1973 after seeing the significant economic impact of the film “Deliverance,” which was shot in Rabun County, the Georgia Film Office has played a starring role in the industry’s growth in Georgia. The Film Office’s mission is to attract film and television projects, and the infrastructure to support them, to the State. Location scouting, logistic support, and certifying projects under the Film Tax Credit are all services the Film Office provides to projects free of charge.

Georgia is a one-stop-shop for film and television productions, thanks to a combination of supportive state partners, a well-trained crew base, a variety of filming locations, world-class production facilities, a stable film tax incentive, and ample support services. A great quality of life, temperate climate, and access to the world’s busiest airport bring productions back again and again. Along with maintaining a database of thousands of locations, the Georgia Film Office runs the Camera Ready® Communities program, which provides productions with local, one-on-one assistance in all 159 Georgia counties.

From crew and extras, security personnel and accountants, catering companies and florists, productions rely on Georgia talent and small businesses to bring stories to life. The Georgia Film Office maintains resources to connect people and businesses to productions and gives property owners a chance to see their homes on the big screen by creating a listing in the state’s locations database.
