From the Ledger-Enquirer:
Columbus has continued to grow its profile in the Georgia film industry. In the last few years, we have welcomed the Georgia Film Academy, the Springer Film Institute, and the Way Down Film Festival. We have trained countless film technicians and actors, many of which are able to work right here in town on Netflix series, major feature films, and more. It’s evident that Columbus is a city that Hollywood ought to take note of.
Our new webseries is simply the natural progression of all of this. What sets it apart is that it is truly local and organic to our community, without any of the negative-implications of a “community” arts project. Our city has always produced renowned artists, but too often in our history we lose those people to bigger markets. With the rise of film work in Georgia, that is no longer an imperative for Columbus-area artists. I hope you’ll follow what we’re up to as we gear up to shoot this series in January 2019. Follow us on Facebook (/groundsseries) or on the web at www.springerfilm.org/grounds.
