Industry Information

Lights, Camera, Action!
 
Georgia has emerged as the number three state for film/TV production in the United States. This amazing growth is the direct result of the state’s aggressive tax incentive program that allows qualifying productions to recover up to 30% of their production cost in the form of a state tax credit. The rapid growth of this industry in Georgia (2014 revenue - $5.1 billion) has created career opportunities that few parents and students in DeKalb County are aware of.
 
Being a part of the Drama Department at Champion is a great way to spark an interest and gain access to this challenging industry.  As a professional working actor outside of school, I have a great network into the independent film market in Atlanta and if you think you are interested in pursuing opportunities in this industry, please don't hesitate to contact me for advice and/or recommendations.
 
As you do your own research, I am providing a few links to some companies that I am familiar with and have worked with in the past.  Please email me if you have additional questions or concerns.
