Rebate increase to Savannah Entertainment Production Incentive

At the November 2024 Savannah Economic Development Authority (SEDA) Board of Directors meeting, the board of directors voted unanimously to approve an increase in the Savannah Entertainment Production Incentive rebate from $100,000 to $175,000 for feature films and $250,000 to $300,000 for television or internet-distributed episodic productions.

Remembering Jimmy Carter’s impact on Georgia’s film industry

As we remember our former governor and president, we reflect on his noteworthy achievements including serving as the 39th president of the United States, receiving the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002 and his volunteer work with Habitat for Humanity, but let us also remember the pivotal role he played in establishing Georgia’s creative economy.

Reflecting on 2024, Moving Upstream in 2025

I’m grateful for all that 2024 brought, but even more excited for the opportunities 2025 holds. This past year has been undeniably challenging across film, gaming, broadcast, music, and the broader creative industries. Yet, within these challenges lies opportunity.
