Filmtrax, Creating Film Jobs In Urban Georgia

“Even with the film industry booming in Atlanta, sustainable film jobs are still hard to find, so the logical alternative is to create them” according to Lantawood founder, Namso Akpan.
 
ATLANTA - Feb. 9, 2016 - PRLog -- While working in the industry over the last decade, it has been impossible not to notice the abundance of talent and the deficit of opportunity in the entertainment industry.
It is easy to make a movie, and many “home grown” producers are doing just that. But without a viable career path, the journey to Hollywood can be as uncertain as finding a needle in a haystack. Eventually, the journey is abandoned as “just a dream” because the realities of this industry have not been favorable for the indie film maker.
"With today’s technology, it is easy for anyone to showcase their talent or completed film. By also giving  film makers a leveled playing field in marketing and distribution, while celebrating our industry’s high  achievers,  we are certain to motivate a sustainable workforce and create a lasting  impact on unemployment in our urban communities”, says Mr. Akpan.
In recent months, more and more people are moving to the urban communities around College Park, East Point and Atlanta and are seeking film industry related jobs. Experts believe this trend will continue for as long as the tax incentives continue. Unfortunately, Mr. Akpan feels that the viability of the industry in Georgia cannot be left just to the efforts of the government, “we must continue striving to make our industry sustainable now or face the possible losses of the opportunities and infrastructure we have developed over the years, if and when Hollywood leaves Georgia. Urban communities are the bedrock of talent and our next few months will be focused on harvesting this talent so as to chisel out brand new gems.”
