PEACHTREE CITY, Ga. — Two years ago, Francis Ford Coppola stopped at Georgia Film Academy on the hunt for apprentices for his upcoming film, ” Megalopolis.”

Georgia has emerged as a top production hub since 2005, when the state enacted tax breaks for the industry. Tax credits for filmmakers increased dramatically in 2008 and are expected to reach $1.35 billion this year. The tax incentive supported $5.54 billion in economic activity in 2022, according to the Georgia Screen Entertainment Coalition.

The hotel “really indicates there’s a desire to do a full ecosystem of production in Georgia,” Moore said. Now, when production companies haven’t rented out the entire space, tourists can venture to suburban Atlanta and cook from Coppola’s own stove.Nevada county reverses controversial vote and certifies two recounts while legal action looms
