The Georgia Film Academy (GFA) is partnering with one of metro Atlanta’s biggest movie studios to provide education and workforce training to a new generation of film and television industry professionals.

GFA announced earlier this month that it will offer courses in a “state-of-the-art” facility beginning in fall 2025 for students interested in working in the entertainment industry.

The 32,000-square-foot learning space will be located at the former site of a General Motors assembly plant adjacent to Assembly’s Doraville-based facilities. It will provide what the partners describe as a “hub for innovation, sustainability and public engagement in film and television.”
