Staff Report From Georgia CEO

Monday, February 20th, 2017

Greene County has joined forces with over 100 Georgia communities to join the Camera Ready initiative. Being Georgia Camera Ready means that Greene County is prepared and designated by the Georgia Film, Music, and Digital Entertainment Office to serve as a filming location for television and movie companies.

Georgia is already known by film and television production professionals as a Camera Ready state. Georgia offers a state tax credit of up to 30% for qualified productions, a variety of locations, and numerous resources to make productions successful, according to the Georgia Film, Music, and Digital Entertainment Office. With beautiful Lake Oconee, a quaint downtown, rural farmland, and a regional airport, Greene County is a great and diverse addition to the existing Camera Ready communities.

“We are so excited to launch our Camera Ready initiative,” said Hannah Wilcher, Executive Director for Greene County CVB. “Greene County is full of beauty, character and charm, and we hope to put our town on the map for movie producers all over the country through our Camera Ready push.”
