Assembly Atlanta: An inside look at new movie studio

AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW/WAGT) – News 12′s parent company, Gray Television, built a new movie studio in Atlanta as a way to be a part of Georgia’s booming movie scene.

We were there to check it out.

Assembly Atlanta offers everything a production needs on one lot.

It can accommodate everything from feature films to television shows, as well as commercials or music videos.

It includes a parking deck that can fit more than 1,000 cars, a 140-foot LED tower that is almost complete, as well as an amphitheater.

It took just under two years for Assembly Atlanta to get to this point.

You’ll find 19 stages inside, multiple mills that production crews will use to build and create sets, as well as a wet stage that’s about the size of a football field.

And if you’re wondering what a wet stage is, think of the movie Jaws, which was filmed in the “ocean”. Well, now you’re able to do that here at Assembly Atlanta.

The cool thing is construction is not complete. Construction is happening in phases, and you’ll one day find retail, restaurants, residential space, and more right here just two hours down the road.

If you want to learn more about Assembly or internship opportunities, you can head to their website.
