Said by a Golden State official in jest, but competition in landing productions has stiffened between states this year. Also, film festival season is back in Georgia.

LOS ANGELES — In front of a room of entertainment industry professionals, Dee Dee Myers, a senior adviser to California Gov. Gavin Newsom and the director of the Governor’s Office of Business and Economic Development,had a message for Georgia.
“We love Atlanta, but we’re coming for your jobs,” Myers said last month.
She was joking, referring to the thousands of film production-related jobs that have come through Georgia within the last 10 years. Only moments earlier, she and three other panelists part of the Financial Times’ Business of Entertainment Summit in Los Angeles agreed that every state has a place in a healthy American film ecosystem.
