ATLANTA, GA
The Gem Of The South
The Atlanta Olympics 1996Since hosting the 1996 Olympic Games, Atlanta has experienced a transformation that continues to shape the city today.
The success of the Games brought Atlanta firmly onto the world stage and accelerated a period of focused growth that reshaped both its landscape and its reputation. In preparation, the city made significant investments in infrastructure. Roads and major highways were expanded and improved, public spaces were revitalized, and the airport grew to handle a sharp rise in domestic and international travel. Alongside this, thousands of hotel rooms, venues, and event spaces were developed, creating the capacity to host large-scale global events long after the Olympic flame was extinguished. What followed was a steady and sustained rise in tourism and convention activity. Visitors began arriving not just for events, but to experience a city that had grown in confidence and capability. Businesses took notice, and investment continued to build, reinforcing Atlanta’s position as a destination with both scale and accessibility. This momentum created more than visibility. It established the physical and economic foundation needed for other industries to take root and expand. With space to grow, a strengthened infrastructure, and the ability to support large productions, the film, television, music, and media industries began to recognize Atlanta as a serious and viable home. Atlanta had done the work. The industry responded. |
The Growth Of The Entertainment IndustryOver the past 10 to 15 years, Georgia has grown into a powerful presence in the entertainment world.
What once felt like a quieter option has become a place productions return to with confidence, built on experience, trust, and a system that knows how to deliver. Much of that momentum can be traced back to the Georgia Entertainment Industry Investment Act. By offering incentives of up to 30% across film, television, commercials, music videos, animation, and interactive media, it created a real pathway for companies to establish themselves here. It was not just about attracting projects. It was about laying roots. And those roots are still in place. Production spending climbed year after year, reaching around 4.4 billion dollars at its peak in 2022. The industry-wide 2023 Writers Guild of America (WGA) and The Screen Actors Guild – American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) strikes brought much of film and television production to a standstill, slowing momentum across the board, including in Georgia. Yet even with that pause, the foundation built here has held firm. Georgia still offers something that is difficult to replicate. The locations are here. The crews are here. The infrastructure is in place, and it has been tested at scale. What lies ahead feels less like a recovery and more like a continuation. As production activity resumes and the industry regains its rhythm, Georgia stands ready—strong, experienced, and positioned for its next chapter of growth. |
