Since our founding in 2014, GSIA has grown and established itself as a trusted voice for the industry,earning its credibility through active involvement at the State Capitol during and beyond the legislative session. We continue to strive to be a resource to policymakers when they need our input and/or film industry data when they are making decisions related to the film industry. The relationships we have developed allow us to be a source of information for education initiatives to prepare an educated workforce to take advantage of film industry opportunities. As our membership has grown, we have become a strong collaborative partner with other film industry organizations and look forward to continuing to lead the charge representing working Georgians in the film industry.”
