Georgia’s Film Industry is Growing! New Movie Studio Opens in Atlanta
You can run and you can try to hide but, Georgia’s film industry is growing and many say it’s only going to get bigger.
According to reports, a new mega-movie studio has opened in Gwinnett County Georgia that is being called “beautiful” and a “state of the art facility”.
From CBS46:
Eagle Rock Studios Atlanta is the brain child of the Economos brothers. After discovering two TV productions found use in their old beer warehouse, they decided to think big when scouting for a new location for their beer distributorship.
“We ended up buying 60 acres and 730-thousand square feet of warehouse space,” said Steve Economos of Eagle Rock.
The biggest benefit to this new movie studio is the fact that it will add new jobs.
What is even better is that without weather delays, there will be more opportunity for more production. More production means more jobs and a bigger boost to the surrounding community.
“Yes, we’re adding jobs,” said Economos. “Yes we’re adding a lot of support business. We’ve met with over 10 different vendors that will be working with Eagle Rock Studios Atlanta. So just the trickle-down effect will be fantastic for this area.”
But, don’t get too excited. The movie studio has not landed any movies or TV shows yet. However, with the growing number of movies and shows filming in the Georgia area, it shouldn’t be too long before producers start knocking at Eagle Rock Studios’ door.
