Launched in the ‘90s, Oz Magazine is the premier magazine in Georgia for and about the production industry published every two months, both online and in print. Our readership is very niche — local and incoming filmmakers, department heads, directors, production companies, studios, crew, etc. We have an excellent return rate on advertisements because we offer the very best outlet in the state for

branding your company and getting seen by the right people (including all the newcomers currently flooding the state, who know little about what Georgia has to offer). Oz Magazine is distributed to all industry related locations including filming sets, studios, universities, equipment suppliers, creative studios, hotels, and many more!

Gathered with some of the most wonderful people to celebrate and the spectacular article she wrote in Oz Magazine. If you haven’t read it yet, you should!


Spotted on the cover of Oz Magazine! Latinas in Media Atlanta Founders and Producers Viviana Chavez, Denise Santos, Gabriella Ortiz.

“Latinos in the film industry are not just now joining the party. They have been busy putting in the work all these years earning their seat at the table. Now, they are ready to shatter glass ceilings - even in Georgia. “We have been part of the conversation for a long time. But now… we are interrupting,” says actor Denise Santos, who in the last few years, together with her accomplices, has mobilized to create a home for an underrepresented segment in the industry in Georgia – Latinos. As the industry bloomed with the 2008 tax incentive in Georgia for productions and post-productions brought to the state, certain opportunities opened up for Latinos, and some wheels started promisingly turning, “but we are not there yet,” says Santos, echoing Latino actors and actresses in Atlanta.

“As promising as it is to see certain Hispanic actors gain national attention, Latinos in the industry are still being marginalized. Hispanics are the fastest-growing segment of the population of the United States, and continue to have the largest per-capita movie theatre attendance among all demographics in the country - making up 25% of all movie tickets sold. However, Latinos and Hispanics are still heavily underrepresented on screen and in the industry as a whole. Research done in 2021 by the USC Annenberg Inclusion Initiative studying 1,300 top-grossing films revealed that in the past 13 years, 43.4% of the most popular films did not feature a Hispanic/Latino character, and only 3.5% of the films had a lead or co-lead Hispanic/Latino character.

The struggle is nationwide, but Latin creatives in Georgia are not willing to just sit around and wait for the change to come. It’s time to interrupt.”
