After Georgia lost out to Louisiana on the production of Ray in 2008, then Georgia governor - now U.S. Secretary of Agriculture - Sonny Perdue, a Republican, signed tax-incentive legislation that was intended to lure the film industry to Georgia.
Georgia is now often referred to as "The Hollywood of the South." However, the way things are trending in film production, California may soon seek to become "The Georgia of the West.".
Just a couple of weeks ago, a report by Atlanta's NBC News affiliate "11-Alive" described Georgia as "The top filming location in the world." In 2016 and 2017, Georgia led the U.S. in the number of top-grossing feature films produced.
U.S. News reports that, "According to Adweek, 16 film and TV studios announced plans to locate or expand facilities in Georgia since 2010." In 2014, Pinewood Studios Group built its massive Georgia campus.
A Time magazine piece last year reports on "How Georgia Became the Hollywood of the South." The piece contains several photos of the booming film infrastructure present in Georgia.
Notice how GOP control of Georgia politics coincides with the meteoric rise of the film industry in Georgia.
It was a GOP governor, House, and Senate in Georgia that gave Hollywood the favorable financial conditions it now enjoys, and it is Georgia republicans who keep such conditions in place.
