Augusta Film Commission (“Film Augusta”) has chosen Reel-Scout™ as its location, project, and crew management solution. Reel-Scout™ will provide Film Augusta with a digital location library as well as a contact, project, and crew management system -- all of which will allow the office to refine current practices, respond quickly to inquiries, manage productions, and work more closely with its clients.
Augusta, Georgia, is a charming city that offers film productions a unique blend of Southern hospitality, modern amenities, and historic film locations (Antebellum mansions, old churches, and beautifully preserved downtown buildings). Augusta’s charms of the Old South make it an ideal filming location for period pieces especially. Georgia’s generous incentives also help: a 20% tax credit on qualified production expenses, plus an additional 10% tax credit available for productions that embed a Georgia promotional logo in their credits. All this can bring significant savings for film productions. On top of all that, Film Augusta provides productions with free assistance to obtain film permits and renting film venues. They also act as staff liaison to public offices (Sheriff’s Department, Fire Department, City Departments) and local businesses and services (caterers, rental companies, etc.), and more.
