Georgia has been a hub of filmmaking, especially in recent years, thanks to an attractive tax credit that brings crew and filmmakers into the state. Financial benefits in addition to a variety of beautiful landscapes and scenery make Georgia the perfect place for many projects to take form.

“We have a diverse state as far as locations go, so we can stand in for just about any location in the world,” Craig Dominey, senior film location specialist at the Georgia Film Board said, “which is important with all this production we have going on here.”

Of course, movies don’t always take place in Atlanta, so the film office has the challenge of scouting locations that can sit in for not only other locations around the world, but other time periods or even planets as well.
