The Georgia Production Partnership, a film, television, music and digital entertainment industries group, gave $6,500 to Kemp and $5,000 to Abrams. Both candidates have praised Georgia’s film tax credit, which has given companies breaks to film in Georgia and is credited with helping to create a burgeoning industry in the state.
“GPP supports candidates that support the entertainment industry, and both gubernatorial candidates in this election have come out on record as supporting the Georgia entertainment incentive program,” said Peter Stathopoulos, chairman of the group’s government relations committee.
“In addition, GPP’s membership has diverse political preferences, so when both candidates support the entertainment industry, GPP will likely support both candidates to reflect that diversity in political preferences.
