“We already have a large community of talented musicians, actors, filmmakers, you name it, living here in DeKalb, so it seemed like a natural program to offer. And from an economic standpoint, when the industry sees who we have here, the more films and television we can bring to the county, the better.”
“It's a good lesson for everyone that you don't have to be the next Denzel Washington or Halle Berry to be working in the movies or with TV. There are so many creative opportunities we can expose them to. And it's possible to do all of this right here in DeKalb.”
