Georgia Entertainment returns to Toronto this September with From Story to Scale, a slate of strategic gatherings and engagements during the 51st Toronto International Film Festival, Sept. 10-20, 2026. The series returns for a second year.

Produced by WW/SF Entertainment together with brothers Jake and Conor Allyn, "Clean Hands" made its world premiere at the 2026 Tribeca Festival on June 7 at Village East by Angelika in New York. Within days, it landed a North American distribution deal with Vertical.

Why the next chapter of Georgia's economic growth may depend less on attracting companies and more on becoming the place where ideas, intellectual property and innovation can live.

The conversation examined how Savannah is evolving from a production destination into a broader center for talent development, workforce and intellectual property creation.

Periods of transition are when relationships are built, perspectives are shared and future conversations begin. By the time legislation is introduced, committee meetings are scheduled and decisions are moving through the process, the organizations that have invested in consistent engagement are already part of the conversation.

The initiative has been conceived to support both new and emerging talent, art house productions and those with limited funding. The packages have been created specifically to help producers overcome challenges unique to independents. 

The Savannah College of Art and Design stands out for its commitment to merging education with real-world production. With the expansion of SCAD Savannah Film Studios, now the largest and most comprehensive university film and television complex in the nation, the state strengthens its position as a global hub for storytelling. 

Industry event July 14 will spotlight Savannah's growth as a production hub on Georgia's Coast.

Bartow County has emerged as a destination for film production and creative economy growth in Georgia. The Film Bartow brand signals the region's deliberate push into film, gaming, entertainment, technology and innovation.

Georgia Entertainment will bring Savannah Spotlight: Entertainment Amplified to the coast on Tuesday, July 14, with the Savannah Regional Film Commission serving as the presenting partner. The event is from 8 to 10 p.m. at the Old Savannah Distillery and will convene entertainment executives, creators and leaders from across the state and the region for a night of networking and conversation.
