The purpose of the 9 roadshow events is to highlight Georgia’s Creative Economy and the impact of the entertainment industry in each community. South Georgia put on a show unlike any other. A truly immersive experience from start to finish. VIP guests arrived to the venue in style, in what the industry refers to as ‘picture cars’ courtesy of the South Georgia Classic Car Club. The red carpet was rolled out with greeters in costume, and an entertainment reporter stationed for red carpet style interviews with attendees. The production design, by Daniel Hanifan – Stellar Events, was an artistic nod to the creatives in the region.

Live and interactive, local high school students, Valdosta State University and teachers crewing the short film “Hot Set” – it was recreated during the event giving everyone the opportunity to witness first hand the magic of movie making and the real jobs and opportunities for Georgians. Watch the film below.
