Brandweek, Adweek’s flagship event for the world’s top marketers and creative minds has chosen Atlanta for a special live session on November 4 at Georgia-Pacific’s global headquarters, hosted in partnership with the American Marketing Association (AMA) Atlanta Chapter.
Georgia Entertainment takes a sneak peak of Trilith Institute’s latest Emerging Creativity Residency for Writers and Directors program and provides behind the scenes images of the filming of “Cobb County Country Club” — the program’s first television pilot.
In partnership with Influencer City and Kick Studios, a streaming collective with over 1.1 million followers, the event will trap 10 content creators inside Film Quality Services’s sound stages, where they’ll face puzzles, challenges and frights while audiences watch and influence the action in real time.
All of the locations in the film were shot in east Alabama, Columbus, or the Chattahooche Valley, including prominent locations such as the Chattahoochee RiverWalk and the Columbus “Rainbow Tunnel”. The film also received the top prize for the inaugural Columbus Film Fund Local Filmmakers Grant, and Rowe stated the team was “over the moon with it.”
If you don’t think of art and culture when you think of Cartersville, Georgia, then you haven’t let the town entertain you for a while.
The event will feature a luncheon, panel discussions, VIP experiences and networking opportunities, with additional programming to be announced. The summit is designed for entertainment travel planners, production professionals, tourism leaders and service providers supporting Georgia’s creative industries.
Heading into its third year in 2026, the flagship program provides Georgia-based filmmakers with housing in the Town at Trilith, $100,000 in production funding, a living stipend, mentorship, and access to world-class industry resources, supporting selected indie writers and directors from development through production and distribution.
Set for Friday, Nov. 14, the Drop-In event will be hosted by Company 3. The gathering will emphasize nationwide collaboration and support a strong, balanced film market across the United States, celebrating talent and skill from coast to coast. Sponsors will be announced soon.
Coming from a marketing background where he’s collaborated with agencies and production companies in the advertising sector, Paul Carpenter has observed the evolution of the platform. Carpenter notes the increasingly blurred lines between the entertainment industry and the marketing/advertising world, highlighting the intersection of these two fields.
