The Golden Isles Film Festival (GIFF) proudly announces the return of its second annual celebration of film, arts, and culture taking place October 16-18, 2025, in Historic Downtown Brunswick, Georgia.

We lost a good one yesterday. For me and many others Craig Miller was an icon of icons in Georgia’s film and entertainment industry, a true champion for creatives and a huge advocate of tourism and economic development in the state. Universally respected and endlessly compassionate. 

The complete schedule with festival passes (now available) and individual ticket options will appear at RIFFGA.com and through the Rome International Film Festival app.

Georgia Entertainment will welcome guests to the 2025 Rome International Film Festival with the RIFF Kickoff, presented by Georgia Highlands College and Southern Isle Pictures. The event will take place Nov. 6 at 4:00 p.m. at the historic DeSoto Theatre.

I’ve spent my career where creativity meets business in television, production, and now advocacy and I’ve learned that the only defense I ever truly mastered was heartfelt hope. Hope, belief, and passion are what drive creators to bring something new into the world. But as technology evolves, protecting that spark has become both more complex and more critical than ever.

US Executive Creative Director for Amazon's Brand Innovation Lab, Joseph Delhommer, notes that as Amazon diversifies beyond e-commerce into entertainment and media content, the company has been discovering Georgia's advantages for brand production. His team produces video content, podcasts, and digital experiences designed to connect with audiences in new ways.

Her on-set experiences and education through the Georgia Film Academy (GFA) allowed Dillard to find passion in her work, something she severely lacked in her office role ahead of the pandemic. 

By dedicating a month to IP awareness, Georgia is sending a clear message: protecting creativity is essential to sustaining and growing the industries that make us a global entertainment powerhouse.

Under the three-year agreement, Hanna Brothers will provide all food and beverage services at Trilith LIVE, including concessions for concerts and family shows, and catering for live productions, conventions, meetings, and social events.

Georgia Entertainment’s Carol Badaracco Padgett is in London as part of her annual arts pilgrimage, and one highlight was attending Stranger Things: The First Shadow at the Phoenix Theatre in the West End.
