Ga. third in film production

According to a recent report at www.projectcasting.com, a new study from the nonprofit FilmL.A. shows that Georgia ranked third in the nation in the number of movies filmed in 2014, behind California and New York.

The study focused on 2014 movies produced by the eleven big movie studios (Disney, Warner Bros., Universal, Paramount, Sony, 20th Century Fox, Dreamworks, Lionsgate, The Weinstein Co., Summit Entertainment and Relativity). This led to a study of 106 movies, including seven animated and live action feature films.

The story focused on Louisiana’s drop from the top spot to sixth. While Georgia saw an increase from nine films in 2013 to 10 in 2014, Louisiana’s production dropped from 18 to five in that same span.

Georgia was only two movies away from beating California as the filmmaking capital of the world, according to the report.
