ATLANTA, Ga. (CBS46) – A lot of states have Georgia on their minds relating to attracting movie corporations working within the Peach State – away from us and over to them.
However these on the Atlanta movie scene say Georgia is and can proceed to be a high filming vacation spot.
“I don’t wish to diss on different southern states however I believe as an general bundle, we actually have every thing and our incentives are an enormous a part of that,” Atlanta Movie Society’s Linda Burns advised CBS46.
Georgia has been working to entice TV and film producers since 2005 – when former Governor Sonny Perdue signed a beneficiant tax incentive program.

Different states are taking discover – like New Jersey.
“Georgia is the largest participant on the East Coast,” stated Darryl Isherwood, who leads the New Jersey Financial Improvement’s movie and digital media efforts. “We’d be silly not to take a look at what they’ve executed. However we provide a greater deal in a sequence of incentives which can be capped at extra accountable ranges.”
In 2018 and 2020, New Jersey reinstituted a 35% tax incentive for movie and digital media manufacturing and desires to construct a brick-and-mortar manufacturing trade like Georgia’s however at ranges which can be capped. Georgia’s movie tax incentives don’t have any cap.
A complete of 31 states now have tax credit designed to carry productions to their state. Michigan has handed a 40% tax credit score, whereas New Mexico has already lured the favored Netflix sequence “Stranger Issues” from Georgia to metropolitan Albuquerque.
About 9,000 New Mexico residents work within the state’s movie, tv, and digital media trade. Based on the state, a 2021 financial affect examine indicated the trade generated greater than $1 billion in financial output.

Louisiana’s movie trade might lastly have the soundness it was searching for 5 years after the state of Louisiana restored a 25% tax credit score for motion pictures being filmed right here. Final yr, the movie trade spent greater than $1 billion in New Orleans and the town is on observe to interrupt that file in 2022.
“There are extra productions within the metropolis than ever earlier than and there seems to be no slowing up,” New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell advised KVUE Fox 8. The New Orleans Movie Workplace’s Carol Morton additionally advised the station that since January 1, productions have spent $435 million within the metropolis.
As Hollywood movie prices started hovering within the Nineteen Nineties, different nations started passing tax credit to lure movie corporations exterior the U.S. Hollywood and the Movement Image Affiliation started lobbying Congress to offer monetary incentives to spur home movie manufacturing.
In 2004, as a part of the American Jobs Creation Act, Congress included an addendum that offered rapid tax write-offs for home movie manufacturing. That spurred states resembling Georgia to offer their very own tax incentive packages.
The Georgia Leisure Business Funding Act was handed by the Basic Meeting in 2005 and signed by Gov. Sonny Perdue. It offered a ten% tax credit score for manufacturing corporations that spent cash within the state. Three years later, that tax credit score was elevated to twenty%, and an extra 10% was tacked on for any movie that included the “Made in Georgia” emblem in its finish credit.

They wish to cap the credit score and sundown the credit score, which can kill the trade.”
“While you cap a tax credit score, you’re capping prosperity,” Stephens stated. “It received’t work.”
“It’s arduous to say what the trade will appear like in 20 years,” stated Lee Thomas, deputy commissioner of the Georgia Movie, Music & Digital Leisure Workplace. “You see the proliferation of all this new expertise and the worlds of gaming or melding with characteristic movies and tv. Once we take a look at movie and tv and gaming, they’re simply turning into as one.”
