Hollywood has been largely gutted due to the high costs of doing business in California. A LOT of TV is made in Canada, esp. Vancouver and the west coast. Georgia has done well creating incentives for filming, and now New Mexico.

With the rise of Netflix, Amazon, etc. even the management has decentralized.

I once did a trade show in California. I had to pay two union guys to stand there while I put up my booth b/c a) legally the union had to do the work, but b) of course random guys at a trade show facility have no idea how to put up my equipment. that was a compromise. The original orders from them was that I had to pay multiple of them and stand there and tell them what to do and I wasn't allowed to touch it.

Yeah, I can't imagine why filming is cheaper in Georgia.

Hollywood hacks are a big reason California is the way it is.

Georgia is huge in the movie industry currently. Atlanta, of course is a big draw but the entire state has done very well in the last few years in movie productions.

Good weather and diverse terrain really helps them. Mountains, suburbs, rural, big city, and beaches all with in a short drive.

I thought I read last year that the movie industry in GA had taken a big negative hit from the cancel culture, woke movement, and the same difficulties that moved the baseball all star game to move to Denver.

Some definitely came out with the Georgia boycott, but we'll see how long it holds. Usually those things recede once it's costing those same morally superior people some money.

Usually they bluster and threaten, then they let things cool down don’t follow through. Half of them should be living in other countries by now, but apparently they are like herpes and you can’t get rid of them.

We're moving that direction. They already live in Fantasyland.
