During fiscal year 2019, which ran from July 1, 2018, to June 30, 2019, 399 productions filmed in Georgia resulting in a record $2.9 billion invested in the state, continuing to make Georgia one of the top filming locations in the world. The economic boom has created more entertainment jobs than ever before in the peach state. But the competition is fierce, especially now that the industry has finally opened back up and Covid Compliance rules the set. Getting started in the industry can be a challenge if you don't know how and where to start, whether you want to be a PA or start a production company to produce your first feature.
