MACON, Ga. — Movie crews have returned to Macon after the new coronavirus halted production for several months.
The film industry is booming again in Georgia with 50 productions currently working in the state, according to the Georgia Department of Economic Development.
“There’s so many filming in Atlanta right now there’s not space for anyone to move and we want to take advantage of that,” said Aaron Buzza, vice president of development for Visit Macon and the county’s prime contact for the film industry.
