 Formed
in 1837, the city of Atlanta (and Georgia in general) has a rich
historical legacy gapping from the civil war to the civil rights
movement, making Atlanta a cultural center with a diverse population.

to the sea, but was soon rebuilt and is now the fastest growing city in
the southeast, and quickly becoming a metropolis for tourism, business,
and arts & entertainment.

Rome is a
bountiful city that has the potential to serve as a mecca for filmmakers
shooting in Georgia. About an hour and twenty minutes northwest of the Atlanta
perimeter, the Floyd County capital offers many advantages, including a variety
of city locations at low or no cost with permit-free shooting, a generally
open-minded community which embraces filmmakers, and a visitor’s bureau eager
to bring new films into the area.
