85,000 SF FILM AND TELEVISION PRODUCTION FACILITY OPENS IN ATLANTA

ATLANTA — Mailing Avenue Stageworks, an 85,000-square-foot film and television production facility, has opened on a five-acre site close to historic Grant Park in Atlanta. An investment group led by Paul Raulet, John Raulet and Tyler Edgarton acquired a former industrial building at 1144 Mailing Ave. for the film and television production facility. The stage features 31-foot ceiling heights and an 80-by-120-foot filming area. “Georgia’s attractive incentive program, as well as talented workforce, a variety of locations and accessibility give it a competitive edge over other states,” says Lee Thomas, director of the Georgia Film, Music & Digital Entertainment Office. “As a result, we continue to experience a wealth of productions choosing Georgia for their projects.” Mailing Avenue Stageworks will be available for lease in January 2013.
