Marvel has been one of the cinematic jewels of Georgia’s film industry for over a decade. According to recent reports, Marvel is moving future productions to the United Kingdom for a variety of reasons, including incentives, more filming space and health care costs.
On Wednesday’s edition of “Closer Look,” host Rose Scott spoke with Georgia Entertainment CEO Randy Davidson and President Jezlan Moyet, who provide context on the topic.
Observations and topics discussed:
- Marvel’s departure isn’t as dramatic as headlines suggest
- Georgia’s film infrastructure remains world-class
- The industry is shifting toward smaller/independent productions
- Georgia has the best film incentive in the country
- Local communities are stepping up with additional support like Savannah and Columbus
- Infrastructure and workforce aren’t going anywhere
