Georgia Sees Record High Film and TV Production Spending Despite Celebrity Boycott Threats over Abortion
Georgia has hit a new record high in film and TV production spending, signaling a significant rebound from the coronavirus pandemic as well as a rebuke to the left-wing celebrities who in recent years called for a Hollywood boycott of the state over its fetal heartbeat abortion law.
www.breitbart.com That’s largely due to the state’s tax incentive program, which still ranks among the most generous in the country, luring productions away from California and other states.
But left-wing celebrities turned on Georgia in 2019 after the passage of the fetal heartbeat abortion law. Actress Alyssa Milano organized a campaign pushing for Hollywood business to leave Georgia over the legislation, which bans abortion after six weeks.
As Breitbart News reported, more than 100 Hollywood stars signed onto Milano’s petition, including Brie Larson, Jessica Chastain, Sean Penn, Lena Dunham, and Alec Baldwin.
In the end, it all comes down to the almighty dollar...the true universal language.
