Georgia Film + Entertainment Office

Overview

Led by long-time leader Lee Thomas, and supported by a professional locations and tax incentives staff, the Georgia Film Office 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.

Additionally, the Georgia Film Office provides resources for productions ranging from crew and extras, security personnel and accountants, catering companies and florists, all vital to productions relying 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.

The Film Office also handles Georgia’s tax incentive for film productions – as Georgia offers one of the most robust (30%) incentives in the industry. For questions on applications or incentives, they offer an excellent resource guide.
