Filmed in Athens

The picturesque college town of Athens, Georgia has been the site of many film projects over the years.  Georgia's film tax credit has brought Hollywood to Georgia, including Athens.

Athens is a Georgia Camera Ready Community, meaning we provide local, one-on-one assistance in every aspect of production, from location scouting and film permits to traffic control, catering and lodging.
