THE SHOW MUST GO ON.

Georgia has become a powerhouse for attracting large-scale film and TV productions248 films and
televisions shows were shot here in 2015. Georgias film and TV production tax incentive has played a vital
role in attracting local investments, jobs, and economic activity generated by these productions. Thats why
Georgia Film Day is so important. By raising awareness of the positive impact that film and TV has in our
state, were taking important steps to ensure a stronger economy nowand in the years to come.

WERE DOING OUR PART.

Georgia Citizens Advancing Film Production is a coalition of local partners comprised of businesses,
industry groups and individuals that have joined together to advocate for the continuation of the Georgia
production tax incentive for film and TV. We believe that the Georgia film and TV production supported
by the production tax incentive has been instrumental to creating local jobs, growing the
economy in Georgia and providing new opportunities for students.

YOU PLAY AN IMPORTANT

ROLE, TOO.

It takes all of us working together to make sure that the economic benefits
continue to flow through our state. Georgia Film Day is an excellent opportunity
for you to be a key player and a strong voice for our communities.

I am committed to protecting the film tax credits

that make this type of blockbuster economic
impact possible. Why would anyone want to make changes

to our current system, which would only infringe on an industry

that employs thousands of Georgians, brings new business to
our state regularly and generates billions of dollars in our
statewide economy?
