Has Screen Gems brought in JOBS to Lakewood?
05/21/2012
Last year EUE/Screen Gems signed a 50 year lease with the city of
Atlanta to take over the old Lakewood Fairgrounds and turn it into a major studio. The 30 acre property was promised to create nearly 1,000 jobs for the community. Has this happened? Is there anyone out there who has benefit from any of these jobs if created?
In order to have real opportunities, we must focus our efforts to develop our "own film industry". This would create an unlimited number of jobs, and bring in tax revenue to our government. To many, this new studio had seemed to be the last pieces of the puzzle for Atlanta's developing film industry..What has the studio brought to our communities?
HERE IS WHAT OTHERS SAID THEN, ABOUT THE LAKEWOOD STUDIO

It's been a long time coming, for something to become of the Fairgrounds. I would like to thank EUE screen gems, just knowing that several 1,000 of jobs will be coming to the Atlanta area, I'm looking forward to try a chance of becoming part of the team.
So who out there has benefitted from a job at the Screen Gems facility at the Lakewood Fairgrounds? Let us know . Email us at reporter@lantawoodtv.com
The plot involves best-selling rapper Lill Wezy who is rescued by an ex-striper (Buffy) after being attacked. Unfortunately for Lill Wezy, when Buffy discovers that his new song is derogatory to women, her reaction leaves Lill Wezy shattered and scared for life. 
You didn't get into Sundance and no one wants your movie. How can you turn this around? Everyone is talking about Internet and Digital Downloading options, but Namso Akpan said you might only get your phone bill paid this route. What is the truth here?
“There is much talk among independent Producers and Directors that obtaining viable film distribution these days is nearly impossible. According to Namso, “one of the benefits of developing our own industry is the ability to provide movie distribution to local producers and real job opportunities to the community.” In line with the mission of the Association of Southern Movie Workers Inc to maintain a viable film industry based in the south eastern USA, .IFD Inc. announced last Thursday that they were receiving finished DVD films from independent Producers for distribution. .
According to IFD Inc; Producers first of all must submit their finished film for review by ASMW Inc.. If your film fits the required standards, then you will be offered a distribution contract. Association of Southern movie Workers Inc. will coordinate and promote the release your film on DVD though our network of over 500 retail outlets.
The DVDs sell for $5.99 and you get $1 per DVD.
WHY DOES THIS WORK FOR PRODUCERS-
Because, as a Producer, you want to focus on producing films and making money not worrying about distribution and marketing.
To submit your film for review visit http://www.lantawood.org/distribution.html
Atlanta, Georgia -The Job Development Center is a vital community initiative developed by the Association of Southern Movie Workers Inc. All services are currently provided at various public libraries and event spaces. However, a dedicated facility, though this one is in a state of disrepair has been donated by a prominent Atlanta family.
This project aims to renovate this building and make it useable as the nucleus of Atlanta's own film industry. It will provide a physical location for recruiting and training a local workforce for film industry work opportunities including - Marketing, Distribution, Production and unlimited Support Work opportunities.
The services offered by ASMW Inc are carried out by over 60 partners/volunteers and a hardworking staff of 5 Coordinators
The Coordinators provide management to the various units which collectively drive the film industry while the partners provide the talent and workforce. Film projects are shoot on a daily basis with about 11 Producer currently making feature films.
Producers, talent, crew and support workers meet every Thursday at various parks and recreation centers in Atlanta, to discuss their productions, audition new talent and interview for job opportunities.
This project would eliminate the usual uncertainties and improve all ASMW programs. Currently, the productivity among the producer, crew, talent and support workers who participate in ASMW programs
is hampered because the meeting and rehearsal facilities at the Community Parks at times are not available for use.
This building will house a cinema designed to showcase independent films, audition , training and meeting space, food catering service, Administrative offices for our organization, a Film Production and editing studio, Marketing & Publishing services, a family and community focused internet TV Service.
Not only that this facility will aid with our ability to provide an unlimited volume of jobs both locally and beyond.
This project would also benefit the community as it would provide a new source of quality family oriented entertainment, information and education.
Understanding that the "film industry" or the effect of the movies we watch permeates though all facets of our daily living, The "communal based" job creation model of LANTAWOOD would also encourage networking and resource sharing among our communities. Therefore, the Job Development Center project would improve the growth of the indigenous film industry throughout the community.
We invite the Atlanta Community and beyond to reach out and help with this project in cash or kind.
This 15,000 sf facility was unused for the last 14 years. As an important move in revitalizing our community, we have acquired the building. Now we must renovate and put it to work for the community with the focus of creating over 500 jobs in 2012.
You are encouraged to contribute to this project to help create film industry jobs in our communities. The ASMW Inc. mission is to help film workers to establish themselves either as actors, producers, crew workers, directors, or support workers and earn an existence in the growing film industry.
All ASMW services are funded entirely from its partnerships, and investments, which has been built up over the last 5 years through gifts and donations. Please join in contributing to this renovation Project.
