The tax credits and filming incentives in Georgia were set in motion by the film Deliverance!
The film, which was filmed in Georgia, portrayed the Southern Appalachian region in such a negative and hostile light that inspired waves of backlash from the region. One of the means of trying to dissipate the negative view of the region was to offer tax credits to films in Georgia which would complicate that narrative and simply make Georgia a place that looks better to live in and visit!
