Over the past years, I have noticed an increasing amount of shows/movies filmed in the state of Georgia. CNN Center and The Weather Channel are also headquartered from the state’s capital, Atlanta.

CNN is there because Ted Turner’s TBS was based in Atlanta and he founded CNN.
The rise of filming in recent years is due to an active campaign by the state to attract filming through various tax incentives and benefits. Also, once a filming industry has been established, it helps draw others when there is already a base of crew and equipment available to hire/rent without having to bring in from far away.
