All this growth to what end? Until the movie industry pays no taxes? Or until taxpayers are the ones paying for the entirety of the Hollywood industry? People need to realize tax incentives come from somewhere, and they come from us.

Though then-Governor Jimmy Carter established the Georgia Film Office in the early 1970’s, David O. Selznick really started all this in 1939, when he decided to host the world premiere of his epic “Gone With The Wind” not in Hollywood, but here in Atlanta at the Loew’s Grand theater; the entire cast, including Clark Gable, Vivien Leigh, and Olivia de Havilland, were there. Another premiere would follow at that same Loew’s Grand in 1961 to commemorate the Civil War Centennial (the theater was destroyed by fire in the late ‘70s and torn down for the Georgia-Pacific Tower). BUT…aren’t we forgetting Orlando, Florida? All during the ‘90s, tons of film and TV productions were done there as Disney and Universal had studio lots right on their theme parks; until Atlanta, they _were_ the Hollywood of the South.

If films studios get a tax cut, should car companies get a tax credit? What about appliance manufacturers? What about warehousing companies, should they get a tax credit too? Everyone wants good schools, paved roads and police and fire departments but no one wants to pay for them. Getting new jobs threw tax credits never works in the long run.

I first noticed how much filming took place in Georgia when I saw The Walking Dead being filmed there (back when TWD was good.) Also TNT has their "NBA on TNT" show in Atlanta which seemed odd 10+ years ago but now it's the norm to have everything filmed in GA.

@@trongriffinproductions7159 You know nothing. Tyler Perry was the one that got the state to do the payroll tax credit.

[@trongriffinproductions7159]

@@Highstate808 No you know nothing. No major film and television publication has ever gave Tyler Perry credit for Georgia's film/television production success because the state had already implemented a major tax credit that helped everything over the top. Before that, the 1990s is when Black entertainers started flocking to Atlanta in what was called Black Atlanta. Tyler Perry moved to Atlanta because he wanted to be part of the movement and he saw how the city entertainment scene was getting larger. as hip hop and films were being filmed in the city more and more. To give Perry so much credit, would be taking away from those who inspired Perry to move to Atlanta. BET was filming shows like Comic View in Atlanta before Perry. TNT and TBS were in Atlanta before Perry as well. I like Tyler Perry but other black people chose Atlanta way before him.
