SPOTLIGHT
Gladys Edeh is an assistant editor, director, producer, and storyteller with a deep passion for dance and culture. Before transitioning into film, she danced with local companies and performed with both the Kennesaw State University Dance Team and Wings Dance Ensemble. Her previous documentary, Mr. Gele: The Man. The Story. The Craft. (2017) which she directed & produced, is currently available on Amazon Prime. Her latest project, Dance to the Beat, is a documentary celebrating Afro dance artists and the cultural roots that helped shape the global Afrobeats movement. The film’s Seed and Spark fundraiser is currently live, and in only its second week, the campaign was selected as a Seed and Spark Staff Pick. She is now entering a critical phase of the fundraiser, and every contribution, follow, comment, and share makes a meaningful difference as she moves closer to bringing this long-awaited project to life.

Atlanta Editors Collective
Georgia’s industry-leading
film tax incentive
Georgia’s film tax incentive program has long made the state a national production powerhouse — and now there’s a major update that benefits post-production houses, editors, VFX facilities and anyone who works on finishing projects in the state.
What’s New (Starting Jan 1, 2026)
As of January 1, 2026, the state has reinstated a stand-alone Post-Production Tax Credit for film, television, and commercial work. HB 129
-
Post-production companies that spend at least $500,000 on qualified in-state expenditures become eligible for a 20% transferable tax credit.
-
If the project was shot in Georgia, there’s an additional 10% uplift.
-
There’s also a 5% bonus for post-production completed in a designated rural county — giving an extra incentive for spreading post work across Georgia.
-
The credit applies to footage shot in or out of Georgia — as long as the post work happens here.
This means that studios, post houses, and freelancers handling finishing work — editing, color correction, VFX, sound, etc. — stand to significantly benefit.
What Remains from the Original Program
Georgia’s original production incentive still exists for feature films, series, pilots, commercials, music videos, and more.
-
The standard credit is 20% base, with an additional 10% Georgia Entertainment Promotion (GEP) credit — often totaling up to 30% for qualified productions that meet the logo/marketing requirement.
-
Qualified expenditures include pre-production, production, and post-production costs when certified by the state, as usual.
Why This Matters for Editors, Creators & Post Houses
-
Post-only shops — especially editing, VFX, sound, color, motion graphics — now have a strong financial incentive to do final work in Georgia, regardless of where principal photography was shot.
-
Smaller budgets & commercials — with the reinstated post-credit, even boutique spots and independent content creators may benefit if their total qualified spend hits the $500K threshold.
-
Increased demand — as producers realize they can finish post in Georgia and qualify for credits, demand for local post houses and editors is likely to grow.
-
Rural work boost — with the added incentive for rural-county post work, there’s renewed opportunity for post-production across more regions, not just metro hubs.
