Ga the steady climb to Hollywood Dominance

Why is everyone flocking to Georgia in the film industry. Well it started in 2008 with the film tax credits. From there a young man by the name of  Tyler Perry stepped on the scene and decided to call Ga his home. Georgia which has long been a hidden gem to filmmakers now had become the sleeping giant. Not many people realize that lonely little bench that Forrest Gump sat on was in little old Savannah,Ga.By early 2012 everyone was trying to get in on the film business. Offering crazy ridiculous film credits that the industry was eager to gobble up. Guess what though! Non could maintain it but Ga and North Carolina. Then came 2015 and the religious zealots in  Carolina put their foot in their mouth and the industry went a running back to Ga in full swing with their tales between their legs. Last year the film industry had close to a 7 billion dollar impact on the state. I have to say thank you to a republican run state that doesn't mind a little glitz and glam while still holding on to their conservative values.
