ATLANTA — A lighting technician is mowing lawns. A camera assistant is teaching guitar again. An actor has thought about shifting careers.thanks to Georgia’s extremely generous tax break. Dubbed the “Hollywood of the South,” metro Atlanta became a ubiquitous backdrop for huge projects, including Marvel films and Netflix's “Stranger Things.”
Alex Buhlig, 34, moved from Atlanta to LA in 2015 as an aspiring camera assistant. But all the calls he got kept coming from Georgia. Buhlig says he recently had to pull some money from his pension since his bank account was running low but considers himself “extremely fortunate” since he has health care coverage and doesn't have a family depending on him.“The strike will definitely push people out of the industry — it probably already has,” Buhlig said. "Because if you had just gotten started or you weren’t working recently, I couldn’t imagine going through something like this.
“It’s very strange to see my friends in LA and New York getting out there, like sweating their faces off every day and not being able to be a part of that,” Lind, who signedthis week urging SAG-AFTRA not to accept “a bad deal,” says. “There would be something cathartic about being able to put my body into it that I think we do miss out on here.”
“They’ve already made the investment in Atlanta," Embry said of the studios. "They realize that Georgia has things that are special to Georgia. There’s a reason they all come here, and it’s not just the tax break. We have the talent, we have the scenery, we have all of the different landscapes that filmmakers are looking for.”Metropolitan Atlanta is home to the second highest number of soundstages in the U.S., including the massive Tyler Perry Studios and Trilith Studios.
