Atlanta is the Story - Sponsored by the Television Academy

Atlanta Is The Story brings together key cast/crew from shows that are filmed right here - writers, directors, show runners, actors, location managers and other below-the-line talent who translate city to screen, for a conversation about what it means to make Atlanta a co-star, not just a location. This panel is not meant to discuss how we became this major production hub but why our stories are undeniably Atlanta. The Atlanta Film Festival’s 50th anniversary is the perfect moment to ask the people who helped put this city on the map, making it the star of the show, How does a City become a Character?
