“The impact of the creative sector aligns with the significant legislative priorities to drive resources to rural communities across the state,” Dicker noted.
“We’re looking towards, hopefully, having students stay in Georgia rather than having to go outside of Georgia to California or New York to get work.”

Our industry pays out $21 billion per year to more than 260,000 businesses in cities and small towns across the country—and the industry itself is comprised of more than 122,000 businesses, 92 percent of which employ fewer than 10 people. As much as $250,000 can be injected into local economies per day when a film shoots on location. In some cases, popular films and television shows can also boost tourism.
