Georgia Entertainment has released program details and partners for its signature “From Script to Screen” event series at the 78th edition of the Cannes International Film Festival. The festival, running from May 13 to May 24, 2025, is the largest film festival in the world, with over 350,000 filmmakers, financiers and entertainment executives. (Request an Invite.)
Presenting partners of Georgia Entertainment’s “From Script to Screen” events are Film Columbus GA, Shadowbox Studios and Trilith Institute. Other partners include Visit East Point, SCAD, Fulton Films, Western Alliance Bank, Explore Gwinnett, Film Savannah, Monarch, Trilith Studios, PAM Studios, Discover Atlanta, PS ATL and others.
The special, sanctioned program is active throughout the festival. The purpose is to highlight Georgia’s infrastructure, locations, talented crew and professional services to filmmakers from around the world.
“Cannes is a premier opportunity to showcase Georgia on the world stage. Our events at the festival provide unique environments for Georgia suppliers to interact with bona fide producers, directors and those making decisions about filming locations,” said Randy Davidson, CEO and founder of Georgia Entertainment. “The competitive landscape demands that we tell our own story. Being passive is not an option. We are excited to share the Southern hospitality and the difference we can make when projects are completed in Georgia.”
“The Cannes Film Festival offers unparalleled opportunities to elevate Georgia’s resources. The global visibility and prestige of Cannes make it a hub for networking, bringing together filmmakers, producers, distributors and investors,” said Jezlan Moyet, president of Georgia Entertainment. “Together with our partners, we look forward to facilitating meaningful relationships that will help drive new spending and revenue to Georgia.”
