ROME, Ga. The Peach State’s movie industry is growing again - this time getting its first Latina-owned production company in Rome, Georgia.
Construction is already underway for Playa Azul Media (PAM) Studios at 510 Broad Street. Rome is PAM’s first commercial space, with others planned around the state as the studio grows.
Founder and CEO Maria Guerra-Stoll said she hopes to build a community for the entertainment industry in Rome. She wants to help women and minorities succeed in film and television and keep jobs in the state.
Architect Maria Guerra-Stoll thinks she has found a blueprint for success in the world of film, television and video production.
The native of Venezuela is in the process of bringing her PAM Studios to a new sound stage and office building at 510 Broad St. Guerra-Stoll, her chief marketing officer Amy Parrish and Rome International Film Festival Executive Director Seth Ingram addressed the Rome Rotary Club on Thursday.
Guerra-Stoll was introduced to Rome through Ingram, at the Sundance Film Festival several years ago.
The use of âInternationalâ in the title of the Rome event piqued her interest enough to visit Rome and the local film festival. The rest, as they say, is history.
