Production crew member believes HB1180 could dry up Georgia's film industry

Ken Goldwasser loves seeing cars blow up on movie sets. As an Atlanta-based picture car coordinator for movie productions, the crew member has worked on movie productions for several film companies, including Marvel Studios and Tyler Perry Studios.

Goldwasser wants more films to be made in Georgia, but is concerned House Bill 1180, which would put new requirements in place for the state’s film tax credit program, would bring productions in Georgia to a halt. 

On Tuesday’s edition of “Closer Look,” Goldwasser spoke with show host Rose Scott about why he believes any restrictions placed on the program will cause studios to pull out of Georgia and film elsewhere. He worries it could lead to thousands of jobs being lost in Georgia and result in a negative economic impact.
