Answer 1

Answer:

D) The state of Georgia has financial incentives for film makers, diverse filming locations, and vast professional resources.

Explanation:

The growth is due to the fact that Georgia offers a tax incentive program, consisting of 30 percent tax credits for all film and television productions, as well as 10 or 20 percent more in productions that incorporate the Georgia logo in their project.

These incentives caused that since 2016, 16 film studios announced plans to settle in Georgia and its surroundings, such as Marvel and Pinewood, who were already installed in the state, but will expand their facilities. In addition, AMC installed its studios in the state to film "The Walking Dead", where each chapter costs between 3.5 and 4 million dollars, while in California the costs would rise to 20 million dollars.

The state of Georgia has financial incentives for film makers, diverse filming locations, and vast professional resources.
