Our Mission

Created in Georgia.
Owned in Georgia.

FiGA exists to position Georgia as the Southeast's creative epicenter, where filmmakers can access a comprehensive development-to-distribution pipeline that keeps the wealth where it belongs—in our community.

“While Georgia hosts productions from out of state, it needs to own more of them to foster sustainable local prosperity.”
— FiGA Core Philosophy
▣

Local Ownership

We believe Georgia should own its creative output, not just host it. Our model ensures local filmmakers retain IP ownership.

♧

Community First

From crew to cast, we prioritize Georgia talent. 80% local participation isn't just a goal—it's our standard.
