🎬 WHAT’S FILMING FRIDAY: Anne Hathaway’s dinosaur thriller hit Atlanta streets

“The End of Oak Street” filmed primarily in Atlanta with production spotted in Southwest Atlanta’s Wisteria Gardens neighborhood along Erin Avenue and Westwood Avenue as well as Dover Boulevard and Howell Drive.

The crew also used Electric Owl Studios in Decatur which offers six sound stages and 65,000 square feet of production space. Starring Hathaway, Ewan McGregor, Maisy Stella and Christian Convery, the film follows a family surviving prehistoric creatures after their neighborhood is teleported to an unknown location.

🎬 Toronto just rewrote the rules of the global film market 🎬

TIFF 2026 is launching TIFF: The Market, and Georgia is already on the slate. The festival’s new global content marketplace is pulling in hundreds of new international buyers and pushing the industry past a simple question of where a production is cheapest to shoot, toward who owns and scales the intellectual property once the cameras stop rolling.
Georgia’s fingerprints are already on what’s coming to Toronto, with Wilson Shedd and Alpha Gang, starring Cate Blanchett, both headed north for the festival.

Georgia Entertainment will be on the ground in Toronto Sept. 11-14, hosting a private Georgia insider brunch, hosting events built for buyers, sellers and creators finding each other in real time.

🎬 The man behind Chick-fil-A is reshaping Georgia’s creative economy 🎬

Dan Cathy set out to build a home for story makers, and Fayetteville now holds proof of what that vision became. Trilith Studios stands as the largest purpose-built film and television studio complex in North America, the ground where 2025’s “Superman” came to life. But the story extends well beyond soundstages. Trilith Institute is training the next generation of Georgia writers and producers, one of whom just saw her first feature reach the screen through the organization’s inaugural residency. And Trilith LIVE, the seven-acre entertainment complex on the Town side of Trilith, has already logged hundreds of televised audience tapings in its first phase and is now opening a second built around a flexible concert venue, a luxury multiplex and a partnership with Passion City Church, all designed so no seat ever feels far from the stage. Add a growing alliance with U.S. Soccer, and what began as one founder’s investment looks more like a blueprint for where entertainment is headed.

🎬 Universal Production Services is powering Atlanta’s indie film scene 🎬

On the latest episode of Discover Dunwoody, Georgia Entertainment President Jezlan Moyet sat down with Kelly Murphy of Universal Production Services.

Murphy, director of client services, described her team as the backbone of operational success at Assembly Studios, supporting clients from the moment they arrive on the lot through wrap with everything from lighting and grip to transportation, costume and post-production. That hands-on approach has helped the studio become home to projects of every scale, from the CBS soap opera Beyond the Gates, recently renewed for seasons three and four, to Peacock’s Teacup and the ensemble feature Fight Night starring Kevin Hart and Samuel L Jackson.

Murphy emphasized that Assembly welcomes every kind of storytelling, a philosophy that will be front and center when we bring the Indie Spotlight event to Assembly Studios this September. RSVP to join us - Events link in bio!

🎬 An Augusta filmmaker just turned a horror trilogy into a blueprint for a Georgia studio 🎬

Producer Sandip Patel has now shot three features entirely in Georgia, and the movies are only half of what he is building.
SRHP Films’ “Holy Father,” a supernatural horror-crime thriller starring Oscar nominee Eric Roberts as an exorcism specialist, is set in Savannah and was shot in and around Augusta with a Georgia cast and crew under writer-director Shravan Tiwari.
Since wrapping post production, the film has been pulling awards off the festival circuit from Istanbul to Paris to Toronto, and the trilogy’s opener landed on major streaming platforms in a number of countries that surprised even the team that made it.

Now Patel is chasing distribution ahead of the 2026 Halloween season while laying groundwork for something more permanent, a production facility near Thomson meant to give independent filmmakers a real alternative to Atlanta pricing, complete with an on-site feature you will not find at most studios in the state. He sat down with Georgia Entertainment to explain what he is building, why Lincoln County officials keep asking him to bring more productions back and what the third chapter means for Augusta in 2027.

🧠 Georgia may already hold the blueprint for its next economic era 🧠

Randy Davidson, founder and CEO of Georgia Entertainment, says the state does not need to start from scratch to compete in what he calls the origination economy.

In his latest commentary, Davidson connects the dots between university research commercialization, entertainment infrastructure, tourism and technology, arguing that Georgia already has every piece needed to lead globally in how ideas get created, owned and turned into companies. He points to a policy decision that transformed film and television production here in less than two decades and to university commercialization programs quietly generating billions in revenue and outside investment. The bigger question he raises is what happens once those pieces start working together on purpose.

🎬 Georgia’s indie filmmakers are getting a room of their own 🎬
Georgia Entertainment is teaming up with Universal Production Services and Discover Dunwoody to bring Indie Spotlight off the page and into a room built for it.

What started as an interview series profiling Georgia’s independent filmmakers is becoming a live event on Sept. 23 at The Jewel Box inside Assembly Studios, bringing together the filmmakers, producers and partners building the state’s independent film scene from the ground up. The series has already tracked an Oscar-qualifying animated short, a micro-budget feature that swept a dozen festival awards after a sold-out Atlanta premiere and a Tribeca honored film that made its Atlanta debut at Morehouse College, proof that Georgia’s indie work is competing well beyond state lines. Randy Davidson, CEO and founder of Georgia Entertainment, says the event gives that community the spotlight and the connections it has earned. Who takes the stage is coming soon.
