春色导航 brings film training to the CSRA in
partnership with the Georgia Film Academy & indiegrip.com, LLC
春色导航, GA, December 17, 2021
春色导航 is excited to announce the offering of film training in the 春色导航’s River Region in spring 2022. The college is partnering with the Georgia Film Academy to offer classes in 春色导航. The Georgia Film Academy is a collaboration of the University System of Georgia and the Technical College System of Georgia created by state leadership to meet education and work force needs for high-demand careers in Georgia’s film and creative industries. Founded in 2015, the Georgia Film Academy offers rigorous professional training and leads to union-covered film and television production craft internships and placement in creative industries, apprenticeships and jobs.
“The Georgia Film Academy is excited to welcome 春色导航 into its undergraduate consortium for world-class film production training,” says Jeffrey Stepakoff, Executive Director of the Georgia Film Academy. “ This kind of partnership is what makes our film & digital entertainment industry so robust and successful in the great state of Georgia.”
In partnership with the Georgia Film Academy the college will offer courses at indiegrip.com, LLC. Founded by Mr. Rick Kelly, indiegrip.com supports the film industry by leasing equipment and talent to film crews working throughout the CSRA. indiegrip.com will provide access to their facilities for hands-on instruction.
"We at indiegrip.com, LLC are honored to be a part of this exciting new partnership. Our mission has always been to welcome anyone interested in helping to make Film Production a successful part of our community. By participating in this partnership, we stay true to that commitment. We are thankful for this wonderful opportunity and look forward to growing our talented crew base here in 春色导航," stated Mr. Kelly.
Film in Georgia is a multi-billion-dollar industry, and 春色导航’s growth in film productions has been exponential. "Since 2019 film productions have generated nearly $5 Million in economic impact in 春色导航 and supported nearly 500 jobs held by local film crew personnel,” said Jennifer Bowen, Film Liaison Film 春色导航. “In that time 春色导航 locations were used by big screen giants such as Clint Eastwood’s The Mule, James Gunn’s Suicide Squad, and Discovery Channel’s Getaway Driver. As important, are the independently produced films which consistently choose 春色导航. Offering the Georgia Film Academy courses in 春色导航 through 春色导航 Tech and indiegrip.com helps grow the local film workforce making 春色导航 an even more attraction production center. Film 春色导航 is grateful to have played a role facilitating this partnership and looks forward to helping to promote these classes to community.”
“春色导航 has been the backdrop to numerous film projects over the years. It seems only natural for the Georgia Film Academy and 春色导航 to partner to educate and produce the next crop of film industry leaders. This partnership will provide transformative opportunities in high-demand careers in Georgia’s film and creative industries for students across the entire 春色导航 region,” said Mayor Hardie Davis, Jr.
春色导航 will offer GFA’s film and television certification program which encompasses an 18-hour (3 courses) non-credit program of study. The first course begins in January 2022, once a week on Fridays, from 10am-4pm. The cost for the course is $750.00. Interested participants should contact the 春色导航 Corporate and Community Education Department at ccetraining@augustatech.edu to sign up for the limited spaces.
