Film industry continues to grow locally

By KANDICE BELL kandice@newnan.com The boom in the motionpicture industry in Coweta and other parts of Georgia is showing no signs of slowing, according to the state’s chief film recruiter.

Lee Thomas, deputy commissioner at the Georgia Department of Economic Development and division director of the Georgia Film, Music & Digital Entertainment Off ice, predicts the industry will continue bringing new jobs, businesses a nd tou r i sm to Cowet a .

She was the guest speaker recently at the NuLink Early Bird Forum hosted by the Newnan-Coweta Chamber of Commerce.

Cowet a i s fa mou s for AMC’s hit television series, “The Walking Dead,” and before that for the movie “Fried Green Tomatoes,” as well as various TV pilots and movies.

Although the local film industry is bigger than it ever was, Georgia has been in the movie business since 1973.

“It was all started by Jimmy Carter because of the movie ‘Deliverance,’” Thomas said.

“It brought money into the state and they decided to try to get more money for the state.”

“Deliverance” is about four men canoeing down a river in the Georgia wilderness whose encounters with dangerous rapids and backwoods locals lead to violence.

“In the late 1990s, businesses started going to Canada because of tax incentives,” Thomas said.

The final straw for Georgia legislators was when, “Ray,” the movie about the life of Georgia native rhythm-andblues musician Ray Charles, went to Louisiana because of tax incentives.

“We had to level the playing f ield with incentives or get out of the business entirely,” she said.

In order to regain a competitive stance with other states, Gov. Sonny Perdue signed t he 2 0 0 8 E nter ta i n ment Industry Investment Act into law. Companies receive a 30 percent tax credit for projects filmed in Georgia. Ten percent of the 30 percent is acquired only if the Georgia promotion logo is shown in the qualified project.

Thomas said Georgia does not have the highest ta x incentives, and some states give cash back, but higher incentives do not necessarily do better.

“Michigan did a 42 percent tax incentive, but it didn’t work very well,” she said.

“Companies have to be able

to spend locally to help with the economy.”

Thomas said the state-ofthe-art infrastructure and studios, the temperate climate, highly skilled workforc e , d ive r s e s h o o t i n g locations and direct fights through Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport make Georgia an ideal location for the film industry.

Pinewood Studios in Fayetteville is the largest movie studio outside of Los Angeles.

For the year 2016, there have been 245 productions filmed in Georgia, with $2.2 billion spent and an economic impact of $7 billion.

“It is amazing what is happening here,” she added.

“The film industry is responsible for more than 79,100 jobs, which have an average salary of $84,000 per year, which is 75 percent higher t h a n t he average sa la r y nationwide.”

Thomas said Georgia is third in the country, behind California and New York, in infrastructure growth.

She said more stages, lights and cameras are coming to the state, and as long legislators stay friendly to incen-

tives, there is more in store for the movie industry in Coweta and Georgia.

A native Atlantan, Thomas received a bachelor of the arts in radio-TV-film from T he University of Georgia and returned to Atlanta to earn a master’s degree in

film studies from Georgia State University. In 1992, she entered the Tisch School of the Arts doctoral program in cinema studies at New York University, then began a job at the Brooklyn Arts Council. She returned to Atlanta in 1996 to work for the Georgia

Film and Videotape Office as a project manager and then became a location specialist for the office in 1998.

After f inding locations for film and television projects for 12 years, she became director of the f ilm division in 2010. Films that Lee

has worked with include “The Hunger Games: Catching Fire,” “The Blind Side,” “Midnight in the Garden of Good & Evil,” “Footloose,” “Fast 5,” “The Conspirator,” and “Zombieland,” which was filmed largely in Coweta County.

as Captain America’s last epic outing, this new magical cinematic hero will rank alongside Ant-Man as a colorful addition, but not likely one that will compete with the more important players.

“Doctor Strange” is an origin story that f inds a damaged medical doctor finding his true place in the less concrete metaphysica l world. A fter su ffering a life-changing injury in a texting while driving car accident, Dr. Stephen Strange (“Sherlock’s” Benedict Cumberbatch) spends his last dolla r tr ying to restore his famed hands to their former surgical greatness. And those hands are injured in that special cinematic fashion—he retains all his fingers but just finds it difficult to move them.

When he’s nearly lost hope, Strange travels to Kathmandu where he stumbles upon a group of sorcerers that may offer him some magical assistance.

Led by t he mysterious Ancient One (played

Early morning miracle The game didn’t end until well past my bedtime. I didn’t miss a pitch. Watching the Chicago Cubs plow through an extra inning and a rain delay to win the World Series for the first time since 1908 was worth the wait.

The victory parties that broke out across the country were fun to watch—but not because I’m a Cubs fan.

It was just nice to see a big group of people get together without tossing bricks or insults at each other. Lately, such moments have been rare.

As I watched the celebrations I wondered what America was like when the Cubs won their first world title in 1908.

A little research showed that at least one thing hasn’t changed since then. Today, Cubs fans loosen up during the seventh inning stretch by singing “Take Me Out to the Ball Game.” That song was first sung in 1908.

That same year, Henry Ford introduced the Model T motor car for the unheard of price of $850. For an extra hundred bucks, you could get a windshield, speedometer and headlights.

In 1908, Buffalo Bill Cody could have enjoyed an ice cold Coca-Cola as he read newspaper repor ts t hat Pat Garrett, who shot Billy the Kid to death in 1881, was gunned down in New Mexico.

In 1908 , t he sout hern half of Florida was inhabited mostly by mosquitoes,

ALEX MCRAE

snakes and alligators.

William Howard Taft was elected President in 1908.

Americans yawned. They were too busy dreaming of a future filled with miracles they couldn’t even imagine.

A story in the January 1, 1908 edition of the New York World pondered the coming century and wondered “What Will the Year 2008 Bring Us?” Some of those 108-yearold predictions were amazingly close.

Powered flight was still in its infancy, but the article said that 100 years hence, “We may have aeroplanes winging the once unconquerable air.”

Alternative energy is big business today. The 1908 World article was already on top of that trend, saying: ”The tides that ebb and flow to waste may take the place of our spent coal.”

On New Year’s day, 1908, Dr. Simon Flexner of the Rockefeller Institute published a medical paper predicting that human organ transplants “would soon be common.”

Telephone service was in its infancy but radio signals were already being sent across the Atlantic Ocean. Some people saw the possibilities.

A 1908 article in the now

defunct Hampton’s Magazine said, “When the expectations of wireless experts a r e r e a l i z e d e ve r yo n e will have his own pocket telephone.

“The citizen of the wireless age will walk abroad with a receiving apparatus compactly arranged in his hat and tuned to one of myriad vibrations by which he has chosen to be called…

When that invention is perfected, we shall have a new series of daily miracles.”

The only thing Hampton’s Magazine didn’t predict was smartphone selfies.

Children still labored in factories, and outhouses far outnumbered indoor toilets, but the year the Cubs first won the World Series, the ever-optimistic Thomas Edison looked at America and said, “Anything, anything is possible.”

In 1908, people believed it. These days, the America of the future is more likely to be depicted as a bleak wasteland ravaged by pollution, corruption, debt, poverty and wars without end.

I don’t buy it. I believe there are still undreamed wonders ahead for America. All we have to do is believe in ourselves. It wouldn’t hurt if our elected leaders led the effort.

Impossible, you say? The Chicago Cubs just won the World Series. If that isn’t proof of miracles, nothing is.

Joel McHale aims to improve you with his new book and sitcom NEW YORK (AP) — Joel McHale wants you to know he isn’t waging war on millennials.

On his new CBS sitcom, “The Great Indoors,” he plays Jack, a globe-trotting wildlife correspondent for an outdoor magazine who is called back to its Chicago headquarters to be the deskbound boss to a team of 20-somethings staffing the magazine’s website.

To them, an exciting expedition is recovering a password, while, for out-oftouch, digitally challenged Jack, a killer dating app is the nearest singles bar.

Mediating this culture clash is Roland, the magazine’s founder and a legendary outdoorsman played by Stephen Fry, and Roland’s daughter Brooke (Susannah Fielding), an old flame of Jack’s to whom he now has to report.

That’s all pretty clear. But “The Great Indoors,” airing Thursday at 8:30 p.m. EDT, premiered last week on a wave of misunderstanding.

Consider the aggrieved reporter at this summer’s Television Critics Association conference, who during the “Great Indoors” session told its producers and stars, “You come out here and you are, like, ‘Ha-ha. Millennials are so sensitive and PC,’” then wailed, “That’s so negative!”

And consider some early reviews of the show, which McHale, during a recent interview, addresses with a wry smile: “They say we’re making fun of millennials. But the show is about THREE generations,

all working together!

Everyone’s making fun of EVERYONE! “I find it funny that people are getting upset,” he says, “especially millennials upset for being portrayed as sensitive.”

McHale has a rapid-fire, snark-marinated delivery, as anyone knows from his 12-year run as host of E! network’s “The Soup.”

Or as anyone will rediscover after picking up his waggish new memoirand-self-help-guide, “Thanks for the Money — How to Use My Life Story to Become the Best Joel McHale You Can Be” (G.P. Putnam’s Sons). It comes with illustrations, quizzes, listicles and cheeky footnotes.

His reason for writing it, he drolly explains in its opening pages, is to pay for improvements to his home swimming pool, which, to his shame, initially lacked a deep end.

Was there any wother reason he put pen to paper?

“A Jacuzzi,” he replies, then corrects himself: “Hot tub; Jacuzzi is a brand.”

Perhaps reflecting his certainty the book will sell, the hot tub installation and pool-deepening are already taken care of, as the book (spoiler alert!) indicates in its final paragraphs.

Very shrewd: A new TV series and a new book arriving in sync — “or, as they say in the Old West, s i m e -y u - tay- n e e - u ss ly,” McHale drawls with a look of satisfaction. “We put it all together into one huge scrumptious wedding

Review: ‘Blood at the Root’ examines 1912 racial turmoil

WIKIPEDIA

Joel McHale buffet.”

And, for the very last time, people: He doesn’t hate millennials! That’s just a sad misconception.

And not the first one.

Consider “Community” (his cult comedy hit that aired five seasons on NBC, then another on Yahoo, from 2009 to 20015). It was first greeted by some critics, says McHale, “as ‘just a bunch of reference humor with people sitting around a table.’ Yeah, that’s the FIRST episode! But don’t worry! There will be others and they’ll be about other things.”

A n o t h e r misunderstanding: People thinking that the characters he plays reflect his own life.

When he was playing Jeff Winger on “Community,” he says, “People were like, ‘That’s just you.’ Well, I’m married with kids. Jeff Winger is a womanizing narcissistic lawyer who’s stuck at a community college. So, no, that’s NOT me.”

On “The Great Indoors,” the character Jack “obviously LOOKS like me and SOUNDS like me.

But some of the CLOTHES ...” He shakes his head dismissively.

(AP) — Blood at the Root: A Racial Cleansing in America (W.W. Norton & Co.),

by Patrick Phillips In 1912, the black residents of Forsyth County, Georgia, were driven from their homes by violence and threats of violence from their white neighbors. More than 1,000 people fled the county, leaving it virtually all white for the next seven decades.

This unwilling exodus forms the basis for “Blood at the Root: A Racial Cleansing in America” by Patrick Phillips.

Raised in Forsyth County, now a suburban bedroom community about 40 miles northeast of Atlanta, the author heard his childhood acquaintances tell tales of the 1912 expulsions that sounded almost mythical. But as an adult, a published poet and a university professor, he felt compelled to take a closer look. The stories of human suffering that he reveals in this gripping and meticulously documented account make the horror of those boyhood stories seem pale by comparison.

Like many episodes of Southern racial violence during that era, it began with an attack on a white woman.

In a rural village called Oscarville, 18-year-old Mae Crow was found beaten, bloodied and unconscious, and her injuries proved fatal.

Rumors circulated, filling in imagined details, and suspicion soon fell on three young black men.

One of them, 24-year-old Rob Edwards, was quickly lynched.

“When a rumor spread that ‘Big Rob’ had confessed to the crime, a group of white farmers stormed the county jail and, according to one witness, shot Edwards as he cowered in his cell,

then bashed in his skull with crowbars,” Phillips writes. “Others say Edwards emerged alive, pleading for mercy, and died while being dragged from the back of a wagon, a noose cinched tight around his neck.”

One of the other two suspects was also reported to have confessed — a confession Phillips says was almost certainly extracted via torture. As Phillips reports, the two were later tried and hanged in a huge public spectacle, witnessed by thousands, but not before widespread terrorism was inflicted on the local black community.

“Some of the attacks later made headlines in Atlanta,” Phillips writes, “and it’s likely that similar raids had been happening since the discovery of Mae Crow’s body in early September.

The night riders fired shots into front doors, threw rocks through windows and hollered warnings that it was time for black families to ‘get.’ But of all their methods, torches and kerosene worked best, since a fire created a blazing sign for all to see and

left the victims no place to ever come back to.”

While many local blacks were poor sharecroppers, some had managed to acquire houses and land in the few generations since slavery.

After they fled in fear, their vacant property was later quietly appropriated by whites.

“Today,” Phillips notes, “many of those same lots are home not to chicken houses, cow pastures, and hog pens but suburban housing developments, filled with multimillion-dollar homes.

What was once stolen with a wink and a nod at the county courthouse has now become some of the most valuable real estate in all of metropolitan Atlanta ...”

For all but the locals and the displaced, the violence quickly receded from memory. Not until the late 1980s, when civil rights marchers from Atlanta descended on Forsyth County to protest its all-white status and faced a jeering, Confederate flag-waving crowd, did the world take note of the county’s peculiar history — which differed only by degrees from the racial violence that erupted for decades throughout the South.

A study released in 2015 by the Montgomery, Alabama-based Equal Justice Initiative documented 4,075 racial terror lynchings in 12 Southern states between the end of Reconstruction in 1877 and 1950.

It was typical, in those cases, for a coroner’s jury to rule the victim died “at the hands of parties unknown.”

In the case in Forsyth County, Phillips reminds readers of a massive crime — and names at least some of the killers.
