CCBlackhatter Posted May 25, 2017 Report Share Posted May 25, 2017 Not only is Georgia on Cali's tail in terms of FBS recruits, our great state has now been named the number one location in the world for feature film production. The state of California dropped to #4 behind the UK and Canada. Louisiana and New York tied for 5th in 2016.

Probably more to do with the growing arts scene in Atlanta more so than unfair wages. These actors many whom are already stars are not signing up for a low paying gig just because doofus. As Sport mention, taxes are a bigger factor in the increasing of production here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a combination. GA is famious for giving away the farm to attract industry. Folks there have never been paid a living wage and yes, every employer looks to screw the working guy in favor of the non working investor class.

The draw is multi faceted. GA has lots of very different locations that suit the subject matter of most films but more importantly GA gives away the farm to draw industry as I just said above. Also of course, in GA you can hire people on the cheap. Nothing to do with growing arts scene my friend. This has nothing to do with top star salaries. This is about the grips, carpenters, food vendors etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once heard that. Thx. Yes, it is called the Hope Scholarship, and funded by lottery ticket sales. 80-87 pays about 75% tuition I believe. 88+ average pays 100%. I may be a little off on the percentages, just going off memory. It does not provide room and board or books however. You also have to maintain a 3.0 in college to continue receiving the funding. You may lose and then regain eligibilty one time, and it is evaluated each semester in college. There is also a limit on how many attempted hours that it will pay for with the maximum age being 24 years old. Its great that we have this in place, and is proof to Nor and Bernie Sanders that college does not have to funded by tax payers or corporations. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albany State has a top notch Criminal Justice program. Georgia State has some great programs as well. ABAC now offers some 4 year degrees, and are excellent if you are looking for a career in agriculture. The private universities here are some of the best in the country, but Hope isnt much help when attending those schools. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mercer as well. A degree from Emory, Mercer, Tech, or UGA will get you any job you pursue. Side note, UGA is ramping up there engineering programs and will be challenging Tech in the near future. They are already drawing professors from Tech, and once established could become one of the best in the nation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMaximumHornetSting Posted May 25, 2017 Report Share Posted May 25, 2017 Georgia State University and Georgia Southern arent bad schools either. If you wanna get into Media/Movies and TV production and all that like me... Then Georgia State is your best bet... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
