Georgia’s legislative session is a wrap, burying with it a tortured bill on state film and television production tax credits — to the relief of Hollywood, indie producers and Georgia sound stage owners.
“Georgia is open for business and continues as a premier destination for film and television production. After much study and debate, the General Assembly has kept in place the tax credit policy that has served the state so well, working exactly as intended,” said Kelsey Moore, Executive Director of the Georgia Screen Entertainment Coalition.
“We appreciate the leadership that Gov. Brian Kemp, Lt. Gov. Burt Jones, House Speaker Jon Burns and legislators on both sides of the aisle have shown on this issue. Our state leadership has sent a clear statement, literally across the world, that Georgia strongly supports the film industry,” she said in a statement overnight.

After studying the issue for the last eight months, Georgia lawmakers unveiled a proposal on Wednesday to limit the state’s lucrative film and TV tax incentive.
Georgia has the largest production tax credit in the country, with $1.24 billion in credits certified last year. Over the last decade, soundstages have sprouted up around Atlanta and hundreds of productions have come to the state, including “May December,” “Black Panther,” “Stranger Things,” and “The Walking Dead.”
Unlike in most other states, the Georgia credit is not capped. As it surpassed $1 billion a year, some lawmakers have worried that it poses a risk to state finances and makes it harder to cut income taxes across the board.
“What we’ve seen from legislative leaders is a clear desire to rein in the overall cost of this program,” said Danny Kanso, a fiscal analyst at the Georgia Budget and Policy Institute.

Four years after tackling the Oscar-winning World War I drama “1917,” producer Jayne-Ann Tenggren is mounting the World War II epic “Enemy of My Enemy.”
Powder Hound Pictures and the Polish Film Institute are teaming up to finance and co-produce the film, which centers on one of the world’s great unsung heroes, Captain Witold Pilecki.

Following his escape from Auschwitz in April 1943, Pilecki continued to fight for a free and independent Poland in the wake of Stalin’s communist takeover of the country.
Matt King (“Boomtown”) wrote the screenplay based on the critically acclaimed book “Ochotnik” (“The Volunteer”) by Italian historian Marco Patricelli. Production will take place in Poland and Italy. Elizabeth Stillwell (“Lizzie”) is producing alongside Tenggren.
