Atlanta Loses a Major TV Show to Film in Los Angeles

Date:

Vh1’s Hindsight’ to leave Atlanta to film in Los Angeles

The California Film Commision announced the list of 11 TV shows and movies selected to receive tax credits under the first allocation of the state’s new tax credit program, which expands from $100 million to $330 million annually.

The first application period, held May 11-17, covered new TV series, pilots and relocating TV series scheduled to begin production on or after July 1. A total of $55.2 million in credits was made available for new TV series, miniseries, movies of the week and pilots, and an additional $27.6 million for series relocating to California from out of state. These allocations combine for a total of $82.8 million out of the first fiscal year’s $230 million in funding.

The 11 projects were chosen from 37 total TV projects that applied during the new program’s first application period. Unlike the previous system, which used a lottery, the projects were based on their jobs ration score, which ranks each project by wages to below-theline woerks, qualified spending, and other selected criteria. Based on the data, the approved 11 approved projects will help generate $544 million in direct in-state spending in California.

But, this means several TV shows will be leaving their current state to film in California leaving many people out of a job. American Horror Story, Secrets and Lies and Veep are among the TV series leaving New Orleans, Wilmington, and Baltimore, respectively to film in Los Angeles in order to take advantage of the state’s newly expanded film and TV credit program.

VH1’s hit TV series, ‘Hindsight’ which filmed in Atlanta, Georgia, will also be leaving the Peach State in forTinsletown. But, it begs the question, with Atlanta’s growing film industry what other shows will the state lose to California’s tax credit program.
