FILM/TV PRODUCTION GEORGIA 2020

 

IN MY OPINION:

WILLIAM REYNOLDS:

FILM/TV PRODUCTION GEORGIA 2020

When 2020 began, the state of Georgia was looking for another blockbuster year in TV and film production. Studios were full. Streaming services were pumping out content. Folks like Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, Melissa McCarthy and Kevin Hart had planted firm roots here to shoot productions. Then the pandemic hit in March, and everything shut down. With COVID-19 protocols in place, production started back up in June and was close to normal by November. ((WELL PRETTY CLOSE)) >>>But movie theaters took a major hit, and many are teetering on the precipice of ruin as many major films were moved to on-demand streaming services or well into next year.>>>Local news operations took a major hit in ad revenue in the spring, but the presidential election and the current Senate runoff have helped make up the difference. CBS46 saw plenty of changes, as usual, while the other three major networks remained relatively stable.
