DUNWOODY, Ga. — Discover Dunwoody, the city’s destination marketing organization, announced an initiative Jan. 19 with the Georgia Production Partnership, which promotes the state’s entertainment industry.
The partnership intends to enhance Metro Atlanta’s appeal as a hub for the film and production industry.
Dunwoody is just a few minutes away from the state-of-the-art Assembly Studios in Doraville.
Assembly Studios, a 43-acre film and production studio space, sports 19 sound stages that offer every resource a production needs on one lot.
Gray Television and Universal Production Services announced its grand opening Nov. 9.
Ray Ezelle, executive director of Discover Dunwoody, said the organization is excited to work with the Georgia Production Partnership to enhance Georgia’s film and television industry.
“It was a real honor hosting the Christmas Party for 2023 here in Dunwoody,” Ezelle said. “We’re eager to help more individuals become members of GPP.”
Discover Dunwoody is sponsoring 50 scholarships for GPP membership, exclusively dedicated to production coordinators, travel associates and procurement coordinators.
The scholarships are part of celebrating 50 years of the Georgia Film Office, an arm of the state’s Department of Economic Development.
During fiscal year 2023, the Georgia Film Office reported 390 productions spent $4.1 billion in the state.
A Discover Dunwoody spokeswoman said the initiative underscores Discover Dunwoody’s unwavering commitment to fostering growth and development within the entertainment industry.
