SAVANNAH, Ga. (WTOC) – Savannah’s film industry is rebounding after it lost millions of dollars this past year due to the pandemic.
The Savannah Film Alliance says seeing film crews come to the Hostess City is a sign the industry is making a comeback.
Charles Bowen, founder of the Savannah Film Alliance says 2020 was actually on pace to be their busiest year ever, but the pandemic changed everything.
“COVID-19′s impact on the industry was catastrophic,” said Bowen. “There’s no other word for it.”
Bowen says it left many out of work and the industry had to come together to find a way to safely make films. They have implemented protocols to keep everyone healthy.
Crews have implemented COVID-19 protocols like wearing masks and constant testing are taking place on movie sets, things are looking up.
Film production crews have been cautiously returning to the Hostess City.
