Mayor Andre Dickens and the Mayor’s Office of Film, Entertainment and Nightlife (AMOFEN) have released the City of Atlanta’s Set South Locations Look Book. This first of its kind look book is a gateway to discover why Atlanta is the ultimate destination for filmmakers both near and far. Whether looking to film a feature film, independent or student production, this collection of images is designed to showcase the vibrant film scene in Atlanta.

“Atlanta’s entertainment partners are a crucial part of a collaborative effort that creates jobs, boosts our economy, spotlights and cultivates remarkable local talent and contributes to our city’s unique culture,” said Mayor Dickens. “From vibrant cityscapes and historic neighborhoods to picturesque suburbs, we have an array of filming locations to offer every production, and our Administration wants the impact and benefits of these productions to be felt in every corner of our city.”

Film and television production have become a cornerstone of Georgia, Atlanta, and the entire metro region. Georgia is often called the “Hollywood of the South,” and Atlanta is at the heart of Georgia’s film and entertainment industry. Thanks to Georgia’s tax incentives, affordable production costs, talented local crews, and a diverse range of filming locations – Atlanta has become the premier hub for film and television.

This Set South Locations Look Book, highlights why Atlanta is one of the most sought-after filming destinations. AMOFEN plays a crucial role in supporting these productions – whether it’s managing permitting, coordinating with City departments, or ensuring everything runs smoothly while minimizing the impact on residents, visitors, and businesses. Their work has been key in strengthening our relationships with production companies, unions, and local talent, making Atlanta the go-to spot for entertainment.

Recognized as the premier hub for film and television production, Atlanta boasts the world’s busiest and most efficient airport, a favorable climate, and an abundant variety of locations to choose from. The Set South Locations Look Book highlights our city’s diverse gems — from lively neighborhoods to iconic filming spots — making it an invaluable resource for productions of all sizes.
