Just realized that, my mistake. Every time I hear Georgia I immediately think about the country in the Caucasus. I am half asleep right now.

Georgia, USA, could be interesting too, although the only thing I know about it is they film "The Walking Dead" there.

Wait... that Georgia has a coast too? I though they were surrounded by Russia.

Just took a look at a map. Everything I thought I knew was wrong.

For a few years the 'captcha' on my site asked, 'What's the capital of Georgia?'

I had a couple of irate emails from people entering 'Atlanta' and wondering why it didn't accept their answer.

Georgia the state's population outnumbers Georgia the country's, and Atlanta is considered a world city.

Tons of movies and tv shows are filmed in Atlanta (Marvel, dozens of Netflix shows, etc.), and the city is a major music hub.

If Atlanta lands HQ2, you can expect for it to take off in the tech scene too.

The studio that makes Archer is also based in Atlanta.

[charlescearl]

Well there’s also Stranger Things!

[privacypoller]

don't forget Archer - though technically not "filmed"

[vignesh_m]

ive seen a few shows filmed there, they have a made in Georgia segment at the credits

Yeah, the Atlanta area is home to a lot of movies and TV shows at this point. There's even a huge movie studio built south of Atlanta (Pinewood, opened in 2014).

Most of the recent Marvell movies were shot here.

Recent films shot in Georgia include: Godzilla: King of Monsters, the Ant Man movies, Guardians of the Galaxy 2, Captain America: Civil War, Avengers: Infinity War, Black Panther, Pitch Perfect 3, Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle, Mark Felt: The Man Who Brought Down the White House and Spider-Man: Homecoming.

Some television shows shot here: Stranger Things, Ozark, The Walking Dead, MacGuyver and Atlanta.

There's definitely a booming production industry in the Atlanta area.

Of course this is all due to a financial/tax incentive for movie studios. But it seems to have produced a volume of productions: in 2016 more feature films were produced in GA than in CA.

Wait they called their studios Pinewood? As in the same name as the famous British studios where they film James Bond and stuff? Come on Atlanta get your own studio name! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinewood_Studios

[jcater]

It's the same group. Pinewood Atlanta was their first US location. There's also a Pinewood Malaysia.

Archer.

[Jtsummers]

With Atlanta being home of Cartoon Network (and most of Turner's stuffs like TBS, CNN, etc.), there's been a huge animation scene there for 20+ years.

Georgia has become a hotspot for filming movie and TV shows. They probably have a ton of incentives for studios, but I haven't looked into it.

20% Tax credit with an additional 10% if they include that filmed in Georgia logo in the credits. There may be more but that is the big one I am aware of.
