I thought you were talking about the country that birthed Stalin and was confused for a second…
Buffalo NY has a Tesla solar panel plant that was built with tax dollars. To jumpstart industry. Tons of equipment that was purchased was cut up for scrap before it was even set up.
Please if you live in Georgia, go out to the tiny shows. Buy a ticket. Stand in the crowd. These industries need new talent and they practice by doing local shows.
This industry is favorable because Georgians encourage it. I think we had two off Broadway musicals performing last weekend. People in Georgia love art. The fox sells out no matter who shows up.
Georgians are well educated.
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!
Tax credits for sure, but also, within a few hours, you have mountains, swamps and the beach. It’s versatile.

When they opened eue screen gems in atlanta they spent a lot of time working on entertainment favorable laws and taxes. I had a family member involved in this
They gave large tax break to large corporations….. NY and NYC do the same thing. Louisiana used to do more, then it stopped and the movie/tv production went elsewhere.
Tons of laws and loopholes for taxes coupled with a diverse landscape makes for a great area to film.
